One's credit might be bad and the lender may not want them on a loan.

Having bad tenants makes the whole buy-n-hold thing seem not worth it.

Lou it might be because prices have gone so high there it makes the affordability index bad unless you have a very high income.

You are at about a 1.5% which is not bad but not great either.

In one scenario, the taxes on a property were high, but the investor bought, fixed up the property in a month, and sold in within a couple months after, so the damage wasn't too bad.

@Hugh Le I saw this last year and thought it was priced high, now it doesn't seem too bad with the current Seller's market.What do your Comps say?

It's a great way to get to know people who also breath real estate and learn from each other.

Make sure there is good ventilation because anyone breathing the fumes in for a longer time will be subject to brain damage.Once you got all your safety gear, get a metal bucket you can pour the stripper in and a natural bristle brush.

My bad.

Please don't take it the wrong way, it's really constructive criticism: it sounds like you really do not know enough about this type of deal to take a stab at it, regardless of if it's a good deal or not.There's a good and bad way to invest: top down and bottom up.
