I prefer actual data so I use bestplaces.net. 

In addition to reinforcing the structural elements, I prefer to take out as much affected wood as is practical to eliminate odor.

The Question: The property is divided into two parcels and the owner can sell the other property separately, but would prefer to include it. 

I have the necessary knowledge and connections to invest in Costa Rica and yet I prefer to invest in other "neighbouring" countries like Mexico or the Dominican Republic because the returns on investment there are much higher there (and they're beautiful countries too).

I am interested in joining a network like this and would prefer folks around Tristate area like Delaware, PA, MD and NJ.

A friend and me want to find a duplex preferably so we can start by house hacking.

@Bob Reinhard, I would absolutely prefer paved; however, I didn't want to assume potential renters would have the same expectations.

Not sure how this would be able to be evaluated except the section of a PPM that looks at hypothetical investment.Rent Increase Assumption: this will be effected when putting off value add plays, maybe look at 0-1% now as opposed to 2-3%.Renovation per unit: was looking at 3-8 K per unit, maybe now looking at more like 3-5K per unit.Break Even Occupancy: was looking at 65-70%, now prefer to see closer to 50-60%Reversion Cap Rate: Previous was looking at 0.5-1.0 over initial, now looking more at 1.0-1.5xLoan to Value: Prior Criteria was <65-75%; now lloking more for 60-65%. 

For example, do you want something that is move in ready and may just need minor improvements; or would prefer to purchase a distressed property that needs some work, but could potentially yield a higher ROI.As Adam mentioned, getting your financing in order is a crucial first step as then you will know what you can afford to buy.

or anyone you prefer to do refinancing with?
