@Jacob Ostreicher - I have a real problem with the way many landlords treat section 8, so what follows may seem a little harsh, but I would warn against this kind of strategy for three reasons.1) Section 8 is designed to get good people out of bad neighborhoods.

Hi @Brian Pleshek,SmartMove offers a screening package that includes a full credit report, criminal background check, national eviction report and a ResidentScore, which scores your applicant on a range between 350-850 and was designed specifically to predict the likelihood of a bad outcome on a lease.

Unfortunately I can't add a ton of value, but reading the article it would seem that getting the Series 65 or partnering with someone with the designation may be necessary if you exceed the threshold.  

I'm finding that $35-$50/per sf for medium to high design is what it's costing in Scottsdale... better to over-estimate for blind analysis!

My advice would be to first time buy and hold as well as flippers to maybe concentrate on areas like Roy or Sunset which may be priced comparatively but draw a different demographic.  

@jacobHi JacobI like to use loop net for multi family properties to see who the brokers are in the market and to get a general idea of value and what type of inventory is on the market.What type of assets are you concentrating on.These are some sites you can use for demographics:http://www.localmarketmonitor.comhttp://best-cities.org/bestcities.taf?

The wetter the location, the higher the concentration of clay needs to be to divert the water from draining straight down the footer walls & causing damage.

they have multiple designs and they can also make the walls smooth if you like but it will cost more money for smooth.

I custom design my marketing pieces to the specific market I'm sending to.

It was originally designed as a 12 week correspondence course.
