I'm a recent college graduate (May '13) from Raleigh, NC who has moved to the Saint Louis area for work after graduating.I'm new to the whole real estate field and feel there is a lot of opportunity to learn and profit from.

If you don't have good egress and have to get it water proof (my basement takes on water every year, we just have our storage boxes on short stilts, as it was way too expensive to fix the problem), it's probably not worth the effort to finish the basement.For rental comps, you could start monitoring Craigslist in the areas you like weekly and putting the data in Excel so that you have higher quality comp data than what is on Craigslist right now.

College girls have rented the home for several years & the Gas stove is only 4 years old.

Also certain parts of historic East Point and College Park.

By that I mean, I have taken college courses on REI and I understand the basics.

I'm trying to teach my nephews and nieces about RE investing and hoping to get them all started in investing soon (they're all in college right now).

For example, they can look back in time and see almost all the previous sales, list prices, and get a much better idea of "comps" to know what house values truly are.

Also I am not aware that section 8 allows you to "inherit" vouchers.Since she submitted an application, check all of her reference information and previous landlords, at least 3.

Here is an interesting bit of info I have not seen mentioned previously.

I see very few positives over the previous version.
