I was hoping to get some feedback on my numbers since I don't live in that area and don't know the market up there.  

Hoping to start here (where she know the market and near a military base with a good market for rentals) and near Atlanta (where my family lives and can help manage while small).

Hi All - My wife and I have 100k saved and we live in the Chicago.

Hi investors,I am just curious if there is any place to live for retirement or just spend couple years to enjoy.Where would you choose?

@Katie Haney  careful that price range and tenant range is for experts in the local market generally.. out of state folks stand a very good chance of having some pretty rough financial times .. take your 50k and buy something for 150k you will thank your self over time. there is a reason a duplex would sell that low in todays market.. the market is pricing for risk.. when you live out of market your risk already goes up... there are plenty of better buys out there .. than a duplex at 50k..

I live in a booming ski town and am looking to flip condos.

I have a couple people that live nearby that I can lean on if I am out of town. 

I'm working on getting my first unit, I'm looking at condos South of the bay area (Salinas - Monterey) which I will be living in.

You should make them subject to all the requirements as the original tenant, because they're responsible while they're living there. 

Are there lenders willing to refinance properties in Irrevocable Living Trusts?
