From what I’m seeing, it looks like (and should continue to look like) the clay, Cicero, and Liverpool areas are expected to get some of the higher appreciation in the coming years due to close proximity to Micron (Zip Codes 13039, 13041, 13088, 13090).

I stopped paying the 1%+ and my principal finally started to decrease, significantly.My suggestion is that you ask brokers for recommendations that are in the area where you are purchasing your property and keep calling banks and save thousands of dollars you can use to invest for your next purchase.Two things:  Your broker wasn't getting rich on a 1% commission and the 1% you paid to your broker didn't keep your principal from decreasing; it was probably the cash out he got you (and at a higher LTV than the bank would lend you I might add).Banks and brokers each have a place in the lending arena.Stephanie

Lower interest is generally better than higher interest if you are the borrower.

I would recommend @Mindy Nicol for that area.If you can possibly go up a little higher there are options in Tampa for you as well.
