I am currently looking in 7 or 8 area codes where I think there may be some real value for homes in the $100-$150K range, but would like to hear from you all where the demand is.

When I'm looking at sold record in the surrounding area I can only find 1 property within 10 miles, same ZIP code, or even the same use type.

Here's a link to the US DOJ press release and a link to US Code section pertaining to false statements on loan and credit applications.

If you are gutting a kitchen and bathroom, don't forget, you have to bring them up to code, which means inspections.

Will definitely be putting in an inspection clause and renegotiate if necessary.What type of returns are you getting in this zip code?

Does anyone have some insight on the best areas/zip codes that are good for investor?

I wish I would have started investing when I was 18, the minute I was legally accepted as an adult.As far as analyzing properties goes, an easy way to start is to find a target zip code.

The basement has potential to be finished as a smaller rec room and the attic is big enough to be either a rec room or bedrooms depending on codes.

Does anyone know which zip codes to buy in Norfolk, Portsmouth, Chesapeake or Suffolk?

If you don't live there the rule applies.This is your bible now:http://www.state.nj.us/dca/divisions/codes/publica...We always let tenants go MtM after a year.
