In the Temple area I know of two investors that lost fairly badly at that game; due to low demand.Yes, to renting to students and yes, to your smart observation to keep all markets available.

Or are these duplexes in really bad shape and you're bringing in your own rehab funds?

I very bad with numbers, but I gather from your email that you think that instead of taking a capital gain loss it would work best for me to do a 1013 exchange...that's why I mentioned RealWealth Network because in NY state market my net gain of 570k would not allow for the purchase of a large apt. building.thank u so much again for your input!

I wish you the best in your real estate investing career!

Lists are going to get bad reviews because they can really be hit or miss, there is no guarantee that anyone will respond to your mailer.

Also, co-dwellers will tell on bad occupants.

The first time going west on Bellevue and not west Calhoun, which you are right, not bad, still dicey.

Happy to help in any way I can.Congratulations and I wish you much success in your real estate investing career!

I'm considering buying a multi-family property (10 units) in a bad part of Miami (very low income, high crime). 

I have become a little stagnant in my pursuit of real estate, and im trying to get a better view of my situation I would like to get into a multi family property by the end of the year. i bought my first house in 2015 with an FHA loan, and then I decided I probably needed to do some research to figure out what I had gotten into.so far I am debt free excluding my hpuse but i dont have a career, i am employed but its nothing worth mentioning. i have about 70k of equity in my house and I have about 5k saved up.let me have it. what should I do.
