Which most true investors agree is nothing more than speculative investing.If you look at the lowest ranking cities on this chart you will find that just like Fall River and New Bedford, these cities are providing the highest and most stable “Return on Investment” in regards to monthly cashflow.In Real Estate Cashflow is king and as an investor, Fall River and New Bedford currently have the most stable Cash on Cash potential. in the situation of another market crash, these properties are less likely to be as effected as the more appreciation focused markets like Boston.I hope this helps and if you are serious about investing here on the southcoast feel free to reach out and we can discuss your goals and the strategies that are working in this current market.Cheers to our success!

I'm a physcian and very busy at work, but if there is any advantage other than having a stable monthly payment instead of a mortgage payment that changes each year then I'll try it out for this coming investment.  

Personally, I don't see the benefit of contracting this work out unless you're dealing with 5+ Schedule E's and need someone to plug and chug.

You will need to contact your A and E at the clerk office and most services you contract like a plumber or electrician can also help you out as well and also an inspector.i would start with A and E and then inspector. 

This question is for those that are able to earn commission (R.E. agents) and buy their own properties.In NC the commission is funded at closing it appears (unlike some states) and I am trying to use it to pay my closing and prepaids.My lender seems to be fine with it and I just e-mailed the attorney to confirm.Who does this and is there anything I should be aware of?

As far as the failed CO, that should be an easy reply to you and a quick e-mail of the copy of the CO.

Things such as taxes, insurance, property management & landscaping are relatively stable but will vary per property.

@Lynnette E.

In that example, the interest on the HELOC would be deductible (on Schedule E) against the newly acquired rental property because it’s a business expense for that new rental.
