I love WA state mainly the areas closer to the Canadian border (I love the Cascades) We have rental properties in Kelowna and Victoria but the prices here are nuts.

It's a different world south of the border.

And this is why I am always blabbing about it.Believe it or not, you come across SEO all the time.When you do a search on Google and Google displays all the results... which result do you choose?

We use the fact that our competitors are so desperate (like you are displaying) and us so calm and confident to even more increase our brand.

@Dannielle O'Buckley being just across the border in CT, I definitely feel your pain.

The surround suburbs/cities of Detroit, Closely bordering the City have some great opportunity and tend to be easier to manage.

Mass ave and the Highway are the western borders where properties are pretty expensive.  

As a follow-up I have considered using a "dumb" meter and just adding an IP camera facing the display so I can read it remotely.

I think I'd be able to put in a hot tub bordering the enclosed outdoor shower, plus there is a working fireplace.

I just don't understand the buyer mentality.I helped my Mom buy and fix up her first rental over the last couple months.  2 bed, 2 bath condo in the area of Havana and Alameda (technically Denver but borders Aurora).
