I just purchased my house in valley village, CA this way.

REFUSES to EVER let us in to do our job as your prop mgr" but I know darn well that even if I live in a single fam home that I own free and clear, taxes paid, etc thus NO ONE has any "hook" on me to open up my door to let them in to do anything, if a neighbor calls the city (or in my case the village where I now reside, where things are a lot more tightly controlled than in the city of MKE, where they have all sorts of issues to deal with) if they call and say "hey my neighbor is this Bob guy who's got crap piled all over his home, he gets really drunk at night and falls asleep with lit cigarettes in his hand and he's going to burn his house down sooner or later and I'm scared it will take my house with it" trust me, they WILL be at my door soon to check this out!

We have all flavors of fast fried food, an applebees, beef o bradys, and village inn.Big name anchors are doable, especially if grocery stores count?

I have an opportunity to buy some commercially zoned land -actually the legal definition is called "Village center commercial".

I live in Deerfield but am looking to do some fix and flips to the south and south west of me: Northbrook, Glenview, Morton Grove, Niles, Mt Prospect, Elk Grove Village, Arlington Heights, Des Plaines.

But right now, I'd cut bait and fish in your new village. 

The tower is planned for a block between Toyota and Liberty Mutual Insurance’s new office campuses.And it’s just across the street from the  Legacy West urban village, which is under construction with shops, restaurants, apartments and offices.does any one know about this?

From reading other forums on Bigger Pockets I heard Fishtown, Point Breeze, Pennsport, Germantown, Powelton Village, Old Kesington, are some good starting points.

I moved to the Charleston area three years ago and I rent a home near Old Village in Mount Pleasant.I'm looking to get connected and figure out how to do my first investment here.
