I had to cancel my credit card at CITI just to stop the fees.

Population and economic growth, strong tourism, proximity to other New England cities.

But I do know our city needs a lot more of the first type. 

I retired 10 years in and my wife 14 years into the journey. 85 % of my portfolio is 200 year old converted city row homes that are maintenance monsters and we still have enough cash flow to retire from our W-2.

However, my take on this is they did not do sufficient due diligence on many fronts, including city government challenges, operating challenges, infrastructure challenges and marketing challenges. 

PS Rochester and Buffalo were ground zero for much of this stuff also there were groups buying those homes for 10k packaging them up and selling them for 80k to investors from England. the city / state finally cracked down on that and there was some folks that got in trouble on the criminal side of it.. you can google it.. wont mention names but you can find it if you dig deep enoughBut this is nothing new.. buying hood rates for pennies and selling them for dollars to foreigners and unsuspecting out of state folks. 

Verifying last 2 years of rental history and income extremely important to find the “best of the worst”.Make sure you understand the Class of properties you are looking at and the corresponding results to expect.The City of Detroit has 183 Neighborhoods we’ve analyzed.DM us if you’d like to discuss this logical approach in greater detail!

Agreed that it's the best neighborhood in the city!

That's because the city won't calculate the actual amount till a structure is built, aka it's not just a plot of land anymore.This will obvious cause your property tax bill to go up and also your mortgage escrow account as well (sometimes these things can make your mortgage shoot up a few hundred a month). 

He also doesn't control regulations in the states/cities, but his attempts to cut regulations may trickle down and impact personal property rights and people's ability to use their properties as they see fit.
