The 4 I've talked to are: Blue Gate Capital, Easy Street, Bombora, and Mortgage Calculator Company. 

STR license are still required in Blue ridge and are fairly easy to get.

Known for its "Blue Light Specials," the discount chain was once a retail powerhouse with over 2,000 stores across the U.S.

E.g. good schools in certain zip codes, type of renter demographic in each area, e.g. blue collar, white collar, section 8.

Just happened out of the blue a couple years ago.

Blue County = High taxes, pretty simple :)at $300 a month in taxes that’s a cash flow killer, you will need to go to the board next year and request an adjustment if possible, you may get granted but you will need to have a good report presented to the board with comps that are very similar to yours, but again it will be difficult because your property uncapped and it will never go back. 

We have a blue/grey and a neutral green we like because they hide some of the wear and tear.

Does anyone invest in Blue Island?

This is when the Realtors come out from the shadows and say their market is best.To be honest you can make it work in almost any market, red or blue.

Like others mentioned sub $150-180k doesn't seem worth it, especially in blue states.
