I have a small, one bedroom apartment that was filled by a property management company with a household of 4 ( 2 adults 2 children ).  

The average income per household in America is only $51,000 while the average home is $190,000.

In order to keep my family a priority over working full time as an employee for my income, I believe that real estate investment is a way that we can supplement our household both in the short and long term.

My understanding is population growth, household income, construction, and vacancy rates are all important.

Perhaps you're lucky and can the tenant to bear the landline install expense.Highspeed DSL over landlines does not require anything special other than the service.Most households want TV and over-the-air service is dead today so you need to consider the Dish - - raises the question, How do YOU get TV?

Now we have no income in the household and its pretty rough at the moment.

This places an extra amount of risk on these deals because the window for renting to students is very small, making it much harder to find tenants after the school year has started.

For WalMart it is groceries, soft goods and household goods.
