It is odd that all of them seem to be vacant, or at least sound vacant at the moment, which will cost you hundreds or thousands of dollars in lot rent expenses until sold. 

That seems odd........Here there is typically an extra 5k to 10k for the difference.  

I have yet to find a 2-4 unit and have found out it is due to many local restrictions on these type of properties.I am more interested in getting more knowledge about further out markets like Winchester and Fredericksburg.  

I would really love some pointers to anyone who is familiar with a good account provider.Would restricting my investments to strictly precious metals (standard US coins) completely eliminate the risk of getting involved in prohibited transactions?

If you want to restrict your customers to only people that worked at McDonald's on Chester Ave between 1987 and 1992 and also have at least 2 vowels in their first name, so be it.Your only risk there is if people you deny service to happen to fit into one of the protected classes.  

Account ClosedI am an odd ball West Coast investor who invest in Harrisburg Metro, Central Pennsylvania.

I have not started a college fund for my children as I feel the restrictions on those plans are limiting me.

So the odds of selling it myself and saving realtors fees is very good.  

Property Management is something I feel like you should always plan for in a purchase, whether buying an investment property or future investment property (note I did not say home, because odds are you'll probably move and want to rent it out).I think you're better off buying right and putting a competent property manager in place of your properties.  

What do you think of their Incentive Stock Option Plan or their Restricted Stock Plans?
