Here in Metro Detroit you can still pick up good deals from the MLS but it depends on the neighborhoods as well.Good Luck.

This comes directly from the insurance company, so your not dependant on the tenant for updated info.Many of the larger metro apartment companies now require renters policies and to be added as certificate holders for these very reasons.

My partner and i have an appointment with a seller tonight, but I am trying to make sure i am not wasting our nor the seller's time.This seller and her spouse are moving to West Coast and have already began to pack, will be gone from the state, if i'm not mistaken by end of this month, which is where motivation comes from.i have an Attorney in place who gave me an assignment contract and i would use his firm if and when deal were to close.My RE broker i use ran comps for me and here is the details175-200k comps(she said comps were scattered, since this is a rural area)No major repairs needed.Loan balance is 22kwe offered 90k, they accepted 102k.Home is in Clarksville, GaSeems to be a good price to buy, but what i am worried about is that this probably would not be a good area for a RENTAL, but only a retail sale(from a cash buyer's point of view)The areas i usually focus on are blue-collar, high-occupied, metro-line areas that are rent-able, not sure if i lock this up if it will be attractive to investors since it is way north of Atlanta metro/suburbs and in rural area.Can anyone make any recommendations before i go to give seller the contract?

Ever been to Paris?

Looking to network with fellow REI investors / Wholesalers / in the Metro Phoenix and surrounding areas ..

I am looking to interact with those in the Philly Metro area.

-The only real "plus" for this place is the location, its in an area that's always hot and sought after in our metro area, although its not in the best part of that hot area, if I ranked it 1 to 10, I'd give it an 8 for location.

I live in the Austin, TX metro area(suburbs).

Zach Sikes Thanks for the welcome, I've heard the margins are tight in the metro right now...is that what you are seeing as well?
