I am just starting to understand real estate investing and Austin looked promising from growing IT and population growth perspective.

Hi all,I have a property in an area that has a fairly large immigrant population.  

There are specific parameters you'll need to hit, such as minimum loan amount, minimum number of properties in the portfolio, and the location will have to have a certain population density in order to be considered.

I have had no trouble renting out my units in Taft, and that is primarily an oil town and has a population of about 9500 (compared to Bakersfield population of about 350,000). 

This closure prompted the creation of Obama Academy in East Liberty, since students who attended schenley high were from shadyside and schenley heights, they were redirected to this new school.East Liberty may be maxed out for flippers, but by no means is gentrified as there is still a sideable population of original residents from the non-gentrified era.There are almost no good deals in the city with good schools, suburbs are the place to look.

The population is expected to double shortly. 

What you are suggesting is a statistical analysis of law suits specific to an area, factoring in the population size and sample size.I'm just trying to get a general idea of what, even at a national rate, the statistical probability is that a landlord will be sued.

Pay him back years from now with property or paper that you used your brain to buy or create.The above shows why it is dangerous to accept advice from the uneducated and inexperienced, who seem to populate these pages just so they can quote from some book they read; even if the info is totally incorrect for the situation.Give him a note for $285k and flip the house and make $250K????  

Right now in two of the three cities we own property in the population in those cities ranges from 50-90,000 people.

Because of this look for homes that are cash flowing in an area that is growing in population in a decently employable demographic.
