We installed a security camera and she’s flipped us the bird twice today.

On the other hand, we have had some good comments about good strategies to use in areas like mine from people who DO live or invest in these types of areas.So maybe you should look in the mirror and realize that there are many ways to make money investing in real estate - and just because you don't like one method doesn't mean it can't work

this will keep you out of the hood this will give you a nice shot at safe secure investment.. and maybe god forbid some gambling appreciation.also will tend to have better schools and because your buying right at or close to the median you actually have people buying homes to live in as owner occ which stabilizes the area and keeps the thefts down. when you buy at the bottom of the median or 50% of it or less.. what does logic dictate.. same with rent.and if your sitting on the west coast not really knowing or in Sydney or Hong Kong.... quality of tenants does not move DOWN exponentially with values and rent rates.. it does the exact opposite it get riskier and riskier.

You didn't ask about this, but be careful with putting private info like SSN in them, they are not very secure.

I would not view this investment as a "retire early" but rather a secure investment for your older years.

My goals are to:- Complete my first deal before the end of 2018- Take @Brandon Turner surfing here in NJ- Use stack method to grow my portfolio- Own one storage facility in my lifetimeI’m looking to make friends and partnerships here.

Inventory is low and because of my other business and obligations, I don't have the time to invest into yellow letter marketing or other methods that require a lot of extra time.

Hi all, I’m curious how soon after approving an applicant and taking a security deposit you require the tenant to start paying rent?

This was considered a win-win situation for both us and our goals (they are retiring and I am just getting started).I secured a cash out refinance in my name in order to pay this family member (and myself) back. 

The securities laws require any publicly-sold securities to be registered, which is an expensive process.
