One older garden style complex about 2 miles away that rents for $750 (all bills paid) for a 600 sq. ft 2 bedroom.Mine will be listed in MLS.Rentometer.com says $900 is reasonable for 2 bedroom and a good deal for 3 bedroom... however I don't really put a lot of stock in that analysis.Bryce, you said $900 is aggressive.

Are cabinets stock or custom?

@Jon Klaus @Will Barnard @Bryan Hancock Just curious, on cabinetry do you use stock cabinetry, or custom cabinets?

The other thing is that if you go to them you can usually work out financing terms on the spot and begin making payments.

I'd also say don't put a lot of stock in that appraisal, FHA appraisers are famous for bringing in the numbers at or around the sale price, in fact, often lower.

You can make adjustments for different factors such as square footage, layout, mechanical and essetic updates, garage or parking spots, porches or decks and lot size.I will often use Zillow.

Over the last few years I've explored a lot of ways of making money online from website building, affiliate marketing to trading (stocks,forex).

Other than that, the rest of the advice on this thread seems spot on.

Have hit that goal 6 out of the 7 years (only missed it by one a couple years ago).Have some offers in now even though I don't technically have a financing spot for any more right now.Slow and steady wins the race.

The property is in a nice neighborhood with a lake view so I would imagine it appreciates more rapidly (not that I ever intend to sell)If this helps, here is some other info:I have about 50k in stocks right now that I could sell if i needed to (i'd rather not)I make 90k a year at my jobAm I over my head on this one?
