I looked into Beaufort County, S.C. and you can buy a turnkey mansion for $300k>. 54% of households making only $3,200-3,400/mo seems incredibly high (I estimated mortgage costs on 300k at 5% down and doubled it).

.  ~$400,000 loan with LTV of about 52% in the greater Seattle area.Some questions:(1) Are these reasonable rate quotes given the current environment? 

Interest rates are incredibly low right now (and might be for a while) so I wanted to take advantage of that.

But it is always good to be prepared.Plus in this environment I suspect the banks are not going to be rushing to call notes that are being paid on time.. not to mention foreclosure moratoriums..   

Any refgirant is horrible for the environment so proper handling of it is very important.

International - U.S. dollar is incredibly strong against many foreign currencies right now, allowing us to purchase foreign assets at a steep discount (30%+) on top of any local market asset pricing dips. 

Are your tenants still employed and paying rent in the current environment?

I understand the DFW area isn't getting hit as hard as others in the current environment, but I am ready to start building my portfolio.

They recognize the increased risk of the current environment Good luck

Real estate investors must be careful as they move through this uncertain environment.
