What’s more important than overall crime rate is the neighborhood. You could invest in property in a super safe neighborhood in an otherwise dodgy city or a rough neighborhood in a city with a low crime rate. If you’ve narrowed down your search to a couple of cities, my next step would be to pick a good neighborhood.

Sounds like a good idea to me if you haven’t had any luck so far, at least for the first property. I agree with S, that percentage is reasonable.

Austin is a good choice for investing in buy to let property because of its young population and the number of schools in the area. If you could get property near UT, great.

Yes, the water leak would be your responsibility, not the tenant’s as it falls under the category of home repairs.

Hey Steve,
Just curious, do you plan to rennovate/flip or rent out the properties? By your description, St Louis sounds like it might be ripe for some section 8 investments.

A couple I know went through the course and said the course was invaluable. If you decide to take it, I’d be interested to hear your take as well. Hope you do a follow-up report!
