With developments like the new casino in Ras Al Khaimah and expected population growth, the appeal is growing.

I work and invest in the Treasure Valley, and run meetups here.

- Property is part of the Boise Treasure Valley: One of the top 10 places to live in the US (forbes, money, yahoo, etc.)- Neighboring city Meridian was voted by Money Magazine as one of the best and fastest growing cities to live in the country with 32% job growth in the last decade with only 2.5% unemployment (national avg is 3.7%)- In 3 miles radius there are 3 new housing developments, 1 apartment development, 3 commercial (flex) and manufacturing facilities, with multiple farms for sale for development.RECENT REALTOR ARTICLE - Demand for Ada County Homes Drives Prices to New RecordAccording to our friends over at Boise Regional Realtors®, heightened demand coupled with comparatively low inventory of homes continues to drive prices up across the valley.

Also, ask them what the most popular colors and color schemes are, since they deal with painters and homeowner directly, they can be treasures of information of what accent colors are being used and where, etc.* Call local property mgr's and/or ask for referrals from your relator friends/associates, and ask them for referrals - sometimes they will be nice enough to offer helpful advice, especially, if you tell them you will consider using them when you turn the house into a rental in a yearAs a 27yr appraiser and Realtor/Broker, the paint job has minimal affect on the value, unless it is so bad that I have to mark it down in quality and/or condition.

If you're not sure call the county treasurer and get the date.

I have made a list of the treasurer's office in all the Maryland counties, and it is my plan to call them all tomorrow to see if they have any otc properties.

Thanks @Chris Seveney for your suggestion.I have called the county and spoken to someone in the Treasurer's office and someone in the Assessor's office.

Quote from @Bradley Buxton: @Dave MeyerRegardless if the numbers the stock market seems to be more of a VC casino than a wealth building strategy.  

Hello everyone, I’m Mark and I am honored to be a part of this community and to tap into this treasure trove of resources.

I tried emailing and also calling (left message in voice mail since) the county treasurer to ask for the process for obtaining the deed, but no response.
