It is really difficult to spend time in researching property overseas, but if someone found the property exhibition in a desired region would help them a lot in relation to meet the developers and real estate agents, and get first hand knowledge of about their properties and locations.

After all, it took a Carter for the country to wake up and elect Reagan.Probably time to buy some hi-cap magazines again.

Lastly, I fetch a 10% Cap rate on the house, which I am very happy about.The market for SFH's within 4-5 blocks of campus is incredibly competitive.

Another problem, is that when you max out your credit cards your FICO score drops like a stone, making it very difficult to get approved for a cash-out refi.

The vastness of city limits including rom, utica, oneida, and others have a variety of markets that seem to overlap each other and makes it difficult with most of these cities, especially rome to make a definite market analysis.

As a hands-on and pragmatic kind of person, this is difficult for me to deal with.

The cap rate isn't much, but at least it has one.

That means you have to have cash/margin available to buy the stock if the option is exercised and that can be difficult.
