I agree with Ryan Enos, Fort Worth is the best place for rental properties. 1% properties are fairly easy to come by via the mls even ;-)I have a 2400 sq. ft property under contract that I'm buying for $123k, needs about $20k in rehab, and will rent for over $1500 per month.

Even though I have a good property manager I trust, I am pretty involved in looking after necessary details.Anyway, given that I now have a fair amount of real estate locally (including my townhouse) and the market is even tougher here now, I want to branch out and diversify some going forward.

This page has been up for a while now, I believe...This indicates that during the transition to VRM, there won't be any Vendee financing, but all indications are that it will be coming back once the transition is complete and they get their ducks in a row.A friend of mine has been communicating with a VA Realty Officer for several months now, and he's always indicated that Vendee financing will be coming back.But again, I don't know for certain.

You can do with this money as you wish but must pay it back fairly quickly.

Brian : you got me to check the fair market rent for Dayton and found it went down from 2011.

The most recent is one from a reality show that wants to handle the whole episode (yes the pun is intended) I have already sent someone to further secure the property and asked the "reality show" to email me whatever they want to communicate to me.

That total DTI ratio can go to about 40%, maybe 45% with stellar credit or other mitigating factors.This deal looks fair at best.

Try to figure out why the seller thinks $1.1M is a fair price.

I'd like to meet with or at least communicate with other local investors in the KC area.

How people live, how they communicate and interact in micro and macro areas, how they move as well.
