West 7th might be worth the risk, the residents are on the poorer side but there is alot of buzz about it being an up and coming neighborhood for young hipsters, similar to north east Minneapolis (The area is quite nice along the river, its stated things started turning around after some notorious landlord in that area lost everything).

I was floating down the Bitterroot river last june with my banker ( annual fishing trip)... and we were chatting between hatch's  bugs were not cooperating.I was telling him about this phenom on BP about owning rental properties and that somehow people think its a passive business..  

There is one please go to our FB page it is called the River Valley Navigators Real Estate Investors Next meeting is April 21st. @ El Loritos 3105 South 70th in Ft.

Hi,Does anyone have information on the guidelines (if any) for having a micro home on owned land in the Silicon Valley CA area, ideally San Jose would be great. 

We currently have a 3-story townhome with about 2400sqft (3bed, 3.5bath) that is our primary residence in the Montrose/River Oaks area.

I have never been east of the Mississippi River so I cannot give you much direct advice.  

I have a little less than you to invest in my bext property and the best I am finding in the west valley is 200 per month with 20% down.  

@Chris Rose,There actually is a meetup in Newburgh IN on April 12th at 6pm at Turoni's.It's called Ohio Valley Real Estate Investors Association.You might want to check it out.I won't be able to make it but I've been in the past and very worthwhile.Good luck

Yes the HOA fees really can change with no control on your end. i like Thousand Oaks, Oxnard and Simi Valley even oak park.
