Well at my P& I, ins & taxes, that may be fine, But and the real word is But, checking many, many homes in same area for rent, rents are down to 750- 850 month and taking 3 months to rent. This i do not call any deals, i am now looking at Palmdale to buy in as i can get homes there for 185,000 -200,000, just as nice as boise, BUT can rent them out for $1,600 to $1,900 a month, now that I call a investment. I have never seen so many rental signs out as i have these past 2 weeks up there. Seems like every 4th home on a street has a for rent sign out front. What a sorry mess you agents have done to that city and area. Regards, Dan Winters, investor from Calif.
