I googled it and the neighborhood didn't look all that bad, but I did see that from the history the property was originally purchased for way too much in 2007 and it lost almost half the value.

I work as a network Engineer, and i have a decent income but i don't have enough employment history in the united state(I was in Dominican Republic since i was a teenager)  so i don't get a approve. 

Hello, My name is Alishia and I am from Eastern, NC.

I have the same resistance finding an investor friendly real estate attorney in eastern MA.

I remember reading a history of the stock market crash of 1929, and one investor who had gotten out ahead of the crashing saying, "When I heard the doorman and the elevator operator discussing their hot stock tips, I knew we were in trouble."

Eastern was very congested as well. 

Besides criminal history, credit, and other obvious factors you need to see what their rental history is like.

We're planning to purchase long term rental properties in Tennessee and South Carolina- we're looking in the best school districts, safe neighborhoods, properties with good history and looking for great deals ( looking to pay approx. $65 sq. ft. in a $100 sq. ft. area).

[Had to quit my job in 2010  to care for husband ,hes had 4 strokes from then till now]Hes 68 ,I'm 62 and we are broke ,due to this deal.Realtor got a contract from local County Attorneys Office,filled in the blanks,told me I was going to make a ****-load of money off this deal.After 3 years I still receive $426.90 a month,lady has breached contract 3 times.I filed complaint 1 year ago with the KY Real estate Commission ,it has went through investigative faze and is now in mediation faze.Mean while all history of my house and length of time she listed it has been wiped out.Commission Attorney ask if I could get it.I have no clue how to get what is no longer there.Real estate lady is saying ,because we did not fill out another agreement ,she is not responsible for the bad Contract For Deed.Even though she signed as a Realtor/Broker.This is not a recovery of lost money ,but to call her into account for not protecting me in this deal.Its a sweet deal for the lady in my house.An Attorney I had to just look it over ,said nowhere in this contract was I protected.No balloon payments,she can pay me $426.90 till 2047,this must be when the ****-load is coming in.My husband and I will be dead .Any help on any of this?

These have occurred periodically throughout history.
