I am currently trying to figure out what to run vacancy rates at but understand that this will be extremely case by case as well as it will take time to feel out the market.

I have been extremely intrigued with real estate and if everything goes right I'll be an agent the same week I turn eighteen with Berkshire Hathaway.

Dave was quick, honest, and extremely thorough.. picked up right where the other guy left off.

This current unit, had an extreme chain smoker tenant plus her 3 friends that were always there..at time we purchase it.

Evaluating a title - I have had issues with some titles that have dubious entries and I have taken help of title company that I worked with in the past but they are extremely busy most of the time.

Spatially, too, the rise of gated communities, sprawl and the extreme residential segregation by class and race keep those on top from knowing much about those on the bottom - a form of "American Apartheid," as Douglas Massey and Nancy Denton's 1993 study so aptly put it.Race is its own barrier.

I have come across this FHA 203k loan and it sounds too good to be true (The bank buys the home and pays the construction costs).Any help on this subject would be extremely helpful.I know how saturated the North Jersey market is and without buying homes in all cash I have a disadvantage.
