The people that live in that area, will most likely not be Cerner associates working there - its generally lower income blue colar workes, so over time people would have to relocate to that area, homes would come back up to par, crime levels go down, prices go up to due to demand, etc...

We've had several workable offers in my view, however, the bank or the buyers were not able to agree price.Now, comes along the lender (out the blue) with an offer of a loan modification that reduces her principal significantly to a point where we can sell the home without having to go through a short sale.  

House i'll be renting out will be in the the middle/lower income neighborhood, blue color family. 3 bedroom, 1 bath, fenced in back yard, 1 garage shooting for $1,200 a month (I'll pay water/garbage) Plan to manage it myself since this is my only one, and its close by where I live. 

@Tyion Bridgeman my offers won’t be coming out of the clear blue sky, it will come from analysis and I love the idea of showing him how I got to that number.

Blue skies always, Dustin

It is not fun to take money out of your paycheck to pay for a negative cash flow home that MAY go up in value SOMEDAY.My biggest success over the years (investing in Northern California) came from buying GROUPS (5-8 houses) of older homes on a single parcel, in older, blue collar parts of town (not slums).

In a regional town that is completely blue collar and isn't very exciting.

Those 3 things are termites, mold, and big blue tarps on the roof.

Blue collar towns within a reasonable commute to DFW.

I will keep the cash in stable low risk investments and some blue chip high dividend stocks in an attempt to tread water until I invest the funds.
