From there, use US Census data to weed out areas with high levels of poverty & low median household income.If it is urban, you want to focus mainly on safety & access to amenities like parks, restaurants and public transportation.I wouldn't choose where you want to live based solely off what is the best investment opportunity.

I've seen stuff slide that surprised me, and I've seen stuff called out that I felt shouldn't be called out.Anyone doing 30YF at low rates is following the same exact Fannie/Freddie guidelines, the appraisers are all following USPAP, and regulations since the Great Recession prevent lenders from cherry picking appraisers and underwriters on a per-deal basis.Something like a hole in the sheetrock in the garage is pretty likely to slide through, something like an imploding garage roof, or a clear safety/health hazard, is going to be an issue no matter what.

If you make a couple of phone calls out to your local town in regards to health and safety and social services everybody involved might be able to gain help they need.

Prioritize and plan.

Now you have the equity and safety you want while still financing 100% of your costs.

Not sure of the layout, but a fenced yard, ample parking, storage, or any reasonable safety precautions can help, too. 

I have been actively acquiring Notes since that time.I like the the passive nature, the safety and the cash flow that I receive from Performing Mortgage Notes.

Can't vouch for its accuracy, but looks like a cool tool for tracking crime/safety of different neighborhoods on a heat map of the city. 

I didn't expect that, while during the show, I was not sure about the original state of the door lock as people visiting the house might unlock the door from inside, so before I left, I locked it for safety When they arrived home, they immediately sent an email asking me return to unlock that door for them, then less than 20 minutes, they sent another threatening email saying that if I didn't return timely, they would hire a locksmith to break the door lock and I would be responsible for the fee.

The tenant states that he is concerned for the safety of his two little ones.I've notified each complaining tenant that they need to call the police if they suspect illegal activity and have talked to the accused tenant several times about correcting the issues until now with the drug related accusations.My wife recommended that we start a formal complaint process via mail which will eliminate the phone calls (and drama) and assist with documenting the complaints.
