Maybe I should take it up, seems like a good skill to have for networking/negotiations, haha.Small world.I used to live in Newton Corner a minute or so from the hotel.Also lived in Brighton right on the border near the golf course.Still own that place as a rental. 

Those companies    who do succeed have a presence on both sides of the border who can hold the hands of and explain how the whole cross border transaction should be setup most efficiently, as well as offer that comfort feeling that their property will perform as advertised.   

We did an audit of cap rates in 2016 going in concentric circles around Boston and found that once you crossed the border things started getting far more attractive.

I've found tons of gems at the builder's auction (the company that does them in my area is Paranzino Brothers, they are right across the border from me in Ohio http://www.pbauctions.com ).

Here is the situation:My house sits on the border of one of the most expensive parts of the town and one of the worst.

I'm just across the border.

It's a saying in SE michigan that 696 is the border between "rich get richer, poor get poorer".  

Mass as we're pretty close to the border and I understand RI may be a little more 'landlord' friendly (?)

In any case, she just told me the exact address and it's not as close to Ocala as she thought (she has never been to the property - bought it sight never seen) and it's in Citrus Springs (south part of 34433 near border to 34465).
