I can understand needing to make a living, and you do that by selling commission products, like many others. 

Has anyone lived there in the past 4 years?

I am able to work as a travel doc, and she works remotely in tech, and we plan to use our combined incomes to put towards REI, as well as keeping our cost of living reasonable!

I grew up in vb but currently live in Cali.

I am trying  to purchase a multifamily house , outside of the city where i live it wis about 150  miles from my location ,  how do i figure out the demographics of the area and also the medium income around the area where i am planning to purchase . do i need to look for any big stores/shopping malls or any govt offices around the area to see if the place would be ideal for purchasing the property for renting it .

I used to live in Castleton before Bank One moved me to Tampa in 1996.

I say this because while I plan to live on our rental income in retirement I am hoping that our other investments can cover the cost of inflation.

You absolutely charge higher rates if it's in close proximity to a University; they're paying a premium to live close to campus.

Where you live?
