I'm curious. What can $500 rent in your city?
A family house?
A decent duplex?
A crappy room in the ghetto?
A room in a shared roommate apartment?
Nothing at all?

I was looking to buy a rental property in Gainesville it seems like the rent to property ratio is very attractive. Any advice on the area would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
