Some people prefer what some would consider "war zones" because there is the potential for a better ROI, while others (myself included) prefer a little better areas and are ok with the slow and steady growth.

I dont care if the value declines as long as it had steady renters. 

I also send occasional reminders when we're expecting a storm or extreme temperatures.FALL / WINTER PREPARATIONCooler temperatures are headed our way!

The local law stipulates that evictions cannot take place on days where the temperature is under 15 degrees, which is reasonable, but this past winter a Cook County judge made a blanket moratorium that lasted for multiple weeks.

A friend suggested that I look into Alabama due to its affordability, steady job growth, and tax incentives.

Bakersfield thru covid 19 has continued to have a good steady residential rental market and resale . 

Both are listed on the lease agreement, both are employed with the local school district with steady, long term jobs. 

I’m 40, My wife and I have 3 kids, steady income (Roughly $200,000/yr combined) and quite a bit invested in the stock market.

Hopefully I'll get feedback from those who started out similar to how I'm starting out; with limited savings, excellent credit and no steady income I'm also avoiding asking family or friends for chunks of money, so that route is not an option for me.I know this can be done without having $90k of my own cash on hand.

; are they getting their deposit back and if not, why not; are they presently working or have a steady income, enough to cover rent?
