Some older towns have the storm water and household waste water both flowing into the same sewer system.

But I resold it to O/O cash buyers.In August I bought and sold an adorable 2/1 that I bought for $30K that was rent ready (and fully furnished) in a desert town outside of Santa Maria.

A small town in mine and Bill's home state of MO was wiped off the map as a result of a guy spreading dioxin contaminated oil on their streets.

I was born and raised in Newark and now Invest (along with other cities and towns in Essex and Union counties) and Volunteer (youth mentoring) there.

It is possible for the national index/etf/itb to be soring and the city/town in which you hold your properties just lost a major employer or vice-versa.For most real estate investors your best hedge is to buy your properties well - when performing diligence model the property with rent set under market, a sufficient allowance for vacancy & bad debt, and realistic to conservative operating expenses.

I had not explored the specifics yet myself.

I have found several vacant homes just by traveling different parts of town myself and yes it was not as easy as people think.

They have office on all sides of town as well as mobile and email closings.

I've heard of ListingBook but have not explored it at any length.

It it more or less based on town appraisals and sales, however, property condition is not factored.
