As far as Philly, it's one of the closest affordable markets in the NYC area.

Yeah as Mylinda said about the meet up in Fairborn, that would be the closest one to you. 

In Idaho, we drag them out, tie them to a tree and put some steak and cows blood on em.

For flips the closest I've been was West Norriton. 

Norristown is the next closest town to Conshohocken which is a rapidly gentrifying suburb of Philadelphia where companies such as Oracle have built databases.

HAs pay owners two times a month, and you would have missed they payment deadline  closest to your closing, and possibly the one right after.

If you had to focus on the best bang for the buck would you look at:- Whitefish (closest to Big Mountain and skiing)- Columbia Falls (neutral to Big Mountain and GNP)- Coram (presumable cheaper cost and closet to GNP but further from Big Mountain)

Those who went the US way, where high LTV etc were available - indeed finished flat on their face when financial markets squeezed the liquidity out (Ireland is a very good example); boom & bust & boom....In terms of who comes closest to the US - if that's what you are after - I would guess the UK is quite similar, but again - IMHO it's not that much of a advantage to the individual investor.

Jonesboro seems to be the closest place listed.

@David Smith All three are pretty expensive, solid returns are hard to come by in Tenafly try the area closest Bergenfield
