However, a well run, beautiful, nice, well placed school should increase property values overall which increases the taxes taken in by the cities long term.Keeping in mind that sometimes "positive cashflow" for a city is "money out" of the citizens pocket when viewed through the lens of scarcity of resources.

You cannot factor someone's age into your rental decision (presence of young children/seniors).

I do think in general multifamily is at a peak but there are still deals out there to be had.A hot sector now is an off shoot of multifamily which is seniors housing.

Given that you have three options;Foreclose on a senior mortgagePay the lien offNegotiate a better payoff for a lien release in some manner.In the last matter, I have found some liens to include false or exaggerated claims that could not be proven, in that the lien holder may have violated law in filing or claiming the debt, that can have consequences.

This is where I can create units available to; section 8, senior citizens & disabled individuals.

Hi there.I am an non-us citizen investing in real estate (mainly foreclosures) in Michigan.As I have no credit score/history I am currently reliant on hard money lenders.Does anyone know how I can begin to build my credit as an non-resident investor?

Three major issues:1) Two of the three tenants are smokers.2) One of the tenants has a cat (which I knew of going into the deal) and another tenant brought a kitten into the unit (without notifying me or the other tenants, for that matter).3) Two of the tenants are male and one (the one with seniority on the lease) is female.

The following scenario is based on the purchase of a $600,000 home in SD (below the median home price) -at 2%: Monthly PITI is roughly $3200-at 3%: Monthly PITI is roughly $3500-at 4%: Monthly PITI is roughly $3800To place that into consumer perspective, a military E-7 (a relatively senior Non-commissioned Officer) receives an allowance of $3225 per month for housing.

I strangely take a lot of comfort in the fact that MTV chose Austin as the home of one of their Real World Seasons.I was somewhat indecisive between Austin and Denver, but the Austin area has one the nation's best school systems and no snow ( I figure when seniors move for retirement, theyd rather have a little heat than have to deal with snow).
