Perhaps I am biased because I live this way, but after reading countless articles/forums and discussing with OOS investors, I am fairly confident the numbers are better than Long Island, NJ and other areas of NY (listed properties). 

Just read this article on msn:http://moneycentral.msn.com/content/invest/forbes/P126962.asp?

Today I read a good article from Prohabber and I wanted to get some opinions from some people.

Are you the author of this article?

Take care, Stuartstuart888 is absolutely right -- and if you do want to read up on this, go to our web site (realdata.com), click on the "Learn" tab and then click "read all of our real estate articles" Near the bottom of the list you'll find "Understanding Net Operating Income" and "How to Estimate Resale Value - Using "Cap" Rates."

Does anyone know of a good place on the internet to find an article that I can use to explain a short sale to someone in simple terms?

Anyway I posted my question on doityourself dot com.Long story short, within an hour I had several resonses including one that reprinted a magazine article with easy hints on how to tap into lines and all the recommended specs.Too bad I'm in rehearsal for a play or I'd volunteer to come up and do your plumbing if you'd come down and do some painting for me!
