I am also in Maine, based more up north!

A SFH in North Vegas, listed for $159,900, with long term tenant occupied for $1000 rent. 

If there are any hard lenders that may have insight this too would be invaluable- areas being East Boston, South Boston, Newton, Cambridge, North End.My niche is multi family, 200$ cashflow per unit.

as an African American man who has been investing for 15yrs in buy and holds in the North East, New York, Philadelphia and Jersey, I can tell you from my experiences race is very much a factor in many ways.

. (~4-6 bedrooms here).B-level: Similar criteria to A-level but without the custom built homes, 2-income families can afford to live here and raise a family, backyards for the kids, 1500-2000 sq ft houses (~3 bed/2-bath homes).C-level: Majority of houses under 100K, visual repairs needed in this neighborhood, 1200 sq ft average, houses close together, some properties worn down, grass not cut, porch awnings sagging, concrete stairs crumbling a bit.D-level: Struggling neighborhoods, garbage on the streets, bars on the windows, higher crime, crowded areas, downtown city area, wouldn't want to walk around here at night.F-level: War-zone, "get me outta here" property, makes you nervous to enter the neighborhood even in daylight.That's my basic approach when I think about properties and what areas make the most sense to invest in.

I have a few residential properties and one smaller commercial property.I'm considering a commercial purchase around 17,000 sf North of SLC.  

I live in the Dade City area (North of Tampa), and I have just completed my first flip.  2/2 1,035 Sq Ft that I purchased For Sale By Owner.  

The hotel across the street had quoted a nightly price of $119.00 The next morning we were charged $189.00 The same lady that worked the ticket counter at the airport, also checked us out of the hotel the next morning.

It takes a credit pull and a made up "123 main street" purchase loan to pose the question to LP, however.Further: Normally I disagree with the majority of my fellow lenders requiring a fresh credit pull every 3 months for a preapproval to remain valid.

It's a good reference point, but I need to know what the house down the street is asking so I can outcompete ;) Good luck!
