We have a monthly meetup in Gaithersburg on the Rockville border.

From an equity build approach, seems taking on the 18 by itself is almost more of a gamble, no?

I'm in Langley only a few minutes from the border and have been doing research into Northern Washington.

Betting on appreciation is like gambling in my opinion.  

My name is Cody and I'm a real estate investor from the Quad Cities, Illinois/Iowa border. 

We knew they weren't going to be great on rent, but we had a house that borders a bad area.

We realize that house hacking is a good way to get started, but have struggled with leaving downtown as we like it so much.Due to a series of related events, we decided to that we should at least look at areas we like to frequent (Ohio City, Tremont and Detroit Shoreway)(these are neighborhoods the border downtown Cleveland for those not familiar. 

Congrats from North of the border ! 

@Johnathan MathewsI have a contact based here in Ontario.I can put you in touch with her if you would like, she sets up cross border deals for Canadian looking to invest in the U.S and would have all the necessary information regarding taxes, returns and so forth.

I'm looking at a multifamily on 72nd & Center that you would think is in Milwaukee but in fact is in a tiny pocket of Wauwatosa that juts north along the irregular border.
