I work for a tech company.

The West side and North side of the city is definitely much more of a melting pot with section 8 housing mixed throughout.

I have heard mixed reviews about above 55 year old communities and wondering if the neighborhoods across the street has reached its peak since most of the homes were build in the 1970s and the market has not changed much in their value over the years.

hello BP I'm new to real estate investing and very excited to get started. ive been analyzing properties use bp and another calculator, but I'm not sure if I'm not using the right number or the deals I'm looking at suck. most of the deals are negative cash flow year but then they are good in year 2. so Ill give you the run down. the neighborhood in a nice working class neighborhood. a mix of single family homes and muli fams. 3/2 are running about 220-270 depending on how nice they are. so I'm looking at properties that need some cosmetic work in the range of 20-50 rehab. so the ideal situation buy a distressed property for 75-95 cash put about 20-50 in the rehab and rent it for between 2000-2200 hopefully more but that looks like the comps. when running my refi I'm use 70% of the arv. the number I run the at expenses are  the 10% management 25% for repairs and maintenance taxes are between 5300 - 6600, 1500 for insurance, and of course the mortgage. not sure if these are to high or what maybe you guys could give some insight thanks in advanca

After calling the rep for this product, the next thing we know there was a living room full of people doing a failure inspection, they were from the store, distributor, manufacture and a independent 3rd party tech ( that I later learned he worked for the manufacture).

I've heard mixed opinions on this so I figured I'd spark a topic of discussion seeing as we are in the full swing of fall.
