I am eager to make my second deal and be creative about it.

I’m here to ensure you have a Plan B so we can avoid an auction sale.NOT - Haven’t gained a solid lead yet.

That keeps me from getting surprised during market downturns and also ensures that I have equity to play with should a need arise.Congratulations on your first deal!

I was wondering if anyone that knows those areas well, could give me some insight on market rents to ensure the analysis i am doing isn't totally off base. 

I can make the stuff more entertaining and informative as well in my articles by adding some Masala in it and with my creative thoughts.Along with writing, i love to travel and explore new things in life.I have completed my post graduation in Master Of Computer Application.

(A dryer wouldn't fall in this category.)As for "where to go to deal with this", your friend could always have a local attorney who specializes in landlord-tenant law review the lease to ensure it complies with your state laws.

I am most interested in buy and hold rentals, multi-family units, creative financing and fix-and-flip.

I'm mostly interested in a buy and hold strategy and already have used some creative financing for my first of many deals.
