If the property is included in a Trust,, and you were the trustee (executor) of the trust and the trust was set up as in it's design to have the property be as part of a rental business then as long as it's generating income you can justify keeping the property,, If their are other beneficiaries and the property isn't generating income they could basically demand the property be sold so they wouldn't lose any more money.. 

And as the demand for investment properties has increased, prices have increased and the need for cheaper financing is only strengthened.Yes, there are plenty of conservative banks and guidelines.

Some agents believe that we are 700 homes short in order to meet the demand.

I recently started thinking about using rental properties to supplement my income and eventually lead to something I could do full time.I recently moved to the Fort Worth area and while doing research I found an article that said Fort Worth and Dallas were 2 of the top 10 markets for REI.

Hi I am hoping to get some tips for just getting started.A few years ago I was all set to get started with some flipping maybe renting.Just as I was about to start our financial situation changed drastically.My wife had to take a much smaller salary and I was hit with a ton of medical bills.So we went from looking to invest to living paycheck to paycheck.We have burned through all our savings just to stay afloat and things are going to get desperate soon.So I am hoping I can get started now before it’s too late.So I have been reading up and looking for options.Any tips or suggestions for someone in my situation to get started in the real estate game here in NJ would be greatly appreciated.Any wholesalers out there that can walk a first timer through would be cool.I have a partner who is less desperate then I am and maybe some investors if the deal looks good.Between the two of us we are acquainted with a lot of carpenters, painters, roofers and other home repair guys who would give us great deals.Plus we are both very handy and usually do all our own work for our homes.Hoping to make a move and supplement our incomes before getting too buried in credit card debt.Any tips would be awesome thanks.

It is in a pretty high demand area in an old building that needs a lot of work.

Inventory is still super low across the board, so I look at whatever crosses my desk - There's demand for pretty much everything; but starter homes are especially hot. 

Supply and demand, there will be more properties available.

If you can raise rents (given the strong demand) and/ or implement rubs (or put separate meters for the utilities) you could really increase the value to the property.
