My goal is to develop and supply safe housing solutions and to create passive income and a consistent monthly cash flow.

I'm going to move and will be in a location where I can easily invest in a few MSA's within easy driving distance.The challenge to getting a solid handle on what those MSA's are doing overall is finding decent data: it's either for a single point-in-time (not showing year-over-year trends), dated, not reputable/no idea where it comes from, or too much money to take a chance on it answering my questions.Any recommendations?

We discovered this deal from driving past the property.

You'd have to find another way to find buyers either by driving for dollars, signs, etc. 

Now, as there is no 100% safe investment with high return the question is how can you handle a streak of bad luck when your investment does not produce what you expected?

@Oleg Shalumov I guess that sounds like a safe bet to look at the current rents and if we can raise it eventually then great.Thanks for your help!

The pool was in a terrible shape and need to fully get plastered and redone to make it safe and had to change the pump and the whole setup.

I am 51 years old, have studied REI and am intrigued but I have not yet taken action and it is driving me crazy.

Just a short drive and you'll see an unlimited number of multi family properties (which obviously you're aware of that).

There are some liens that survive the tax deed auction.Government/IRSCity/County (nuisances, etc..)You need to physically drive the property.
