We are moving for the obvious reasons: cost of living, slower pace of life and better school systems for our daughters.

This would have to be in a very good school district and neighborhood for me.

Casey go to movoto and pull the demographics and school information for that area.

If I had kids that were elementary school age I would probably not feel completely comfortable with our neighborhood.

Hello, I am going to look at a house tomorrow that is listed For Sale By Owner and just by talking to the person today, ironically found out that it is one of my good friends from high school's dad who is selling this house.

That's what I was thinking, It is in an amazing location, right on the bus route, across the street from convenience stores, a newly built Walmart, major shopping centers, parks, schools, and the Cardinals stadium.

We have an agent here and she gotten used to it.Conventional financing will be hard unless its owner occupied/second home or you have a history of investing / being a landlord, etc.

Of the two, I would tend to go with the younger tenant with minimal credit history.  

It was ridiculous.The 4th, which were tenants I approved, had income many times the rent, fantastic credit scores, no eviction history, and seemed, on paper at least, perfect.

This house has been abandoned since I was in middle school.
