@Christy Greene I would investigate the area further.

If you do, then 10% down will surely get you in the green quicker even with increased rents.I didn't see where your terms were 15yr, 30yr at what rate?

I got the Unlawful Detainer judgment and now there's a civil action on record and they will eat the consequences in the future. 

I'm a Christian but also a marketing guy; ours is a diverse society and our marketing should be sensitive to people of many different beliefs & traditions.We don't say Merry Christmas in our general marketing, but we also don't avoid the spirit and look of Christmas.The Red/Green/Gold colors say Christmas.

Can eat up that "cashflow" pretty quickly. 

I look at a lot of these Aussies that came over here its at least 5 to 8k for a couple to come to the states .. that eats up 2 to 3 years of cash floor generally right out the gate..

I also don't have a license yet so I hope that gives you a good idea of how green I am in this.Thanks in advance and thanks for reading!

You're talking about the Green Mountain area?

Deferred maintenance is a real concern.There are a lot of good properties on both sides of the river, but the IL taxes really eat into any cash flow.

It is a 3bd, 2ba home with a formal dining room, office, living room, family room, & eat-in kitchen.
