I am concerned about our borders and was wondering what has happened to the industry in our border states.

But because those shows are produced in Canada, and most places they show may be in Canada, too, I was wondering if any Canadian LL/tenant here can enlighten me if that is standard practice "across the border".

In my local mls there are alot of small towns that are sort of on mls borders, just depends on which mls the listing broker belongs to.

The other problem is the property is on the border of a different city and a different county, which also skews the comp value.

This a three family home in a nice neighborhood in walking distance of the Bloomfield border.540 N Grove East Orange3 Family3/3/1 needs some work 35-50krents or 2950.00!

kevin, i think you're bordering a very complex topic that i still don't fully understand....probably should go to a different thread...good debt vs. bad debt is simple to undertand...i have tons of debt, but my rental income is more than double it, so i'm happy...however, yes, some banks still see it and get scared...some people on biggerpockets prefer no debt, and so they buy with no leverage...i don't like that idea right now bc you can borrow money for so cheap..then you get into present value of money vs. future value...is it better to borrow money now so you have cash for later, or is it better to put the cash in now?

For example, Silicon Valley (northern California) is bordered by water and mountains on all sides -- without completely redo'ing the highway infrastructure to accommodate long-distance commuting, there is just no room for market expansion.This means that the limited number of properties (supply) is pretty much fixed and as demand increases (there is still a lot of economic expansion in the area), the market values will increase.

That' statement was bordering on ignorant.

buying personally.I'm going to speak with an accountant that specializes in cross border real estate investing.

It is also a border state and enjoys strong immigration, although this latter factor may be depressed a bit due to some recent laws.
