I recently located a 3 unit property in Western MD listed at $100K.

We are looking to sell a house in need of rehab on 2 acres near Deep Creek Lake. The property has great potential, but due to family obligations and the distance from our current home we have been unable to put in the...

try great western or what ever the name is of that outfit they will sell you over inflated props straight form the MLS

I'm in the near western burbs of Chicago and I have considered expanding my search to this area.

I am in the the western suburbs of Chicago.  

Chances are a large portion of your closing costs were the property taxes, because Western NY (and the Greater Rochester area) have some of the highest property tax rates in the country.

Hi, I'm an investor looking to connect with wholesalers in the Chicago area... preferably, Western/Northwestern suburbs.  

My son rents in Smyrna but will move out of the area.You didn't mention if you were going to flip or rent.First, it may seem like the Smyrna area is improving but not nearly as fast as East Cobb, Roswell and Alpharetta.2) The Smyrna schools are the worst in Cobb County and never seem to improve.3) The crime rate in Smyrna is the highest in the county, now that heroin is so easily available in that area.4) Because the new SunTrust Braves stadium is opening this spring the traffic will be horrendous.5) Smyrna is a very transient area and doesn't have a sense of community.Highest recommendation would be certain areas of Kennesaw (Legacy Park),East Cobb, western area of Roswell near Hwy 92 and definitely Woodstock.

And now you are starting to see the SFH conversions west of Western and the same thing is going to happen pushing renters west and up to AP.  

I am new to investing but want to move into this full time as soon as possible as a house flipper and buy and hold RE investor in Western, Mass.
