Hey @Mike Ouellette , Welcome to BP from a little south of the Canadian border.

If you are on the border of a certain credit score to get better loan rates, you can use MyFico to track your score.

In my opinion, that borders very heavily on violating fair housing laws because sex is a protected class.

Get stuff within 10min or so of the border and I am very interested (say like Nashua, Hudson, Pelham, Salem...).Good luck!

I used to own rental properties years ago when I lived in DE.

You may find it difficult to sell, unless you rehab it for another investor that focuses on renting properties in war/border zones.

Two areas I like are the north end, near Sacred Heart Univ / Trumbull Mall and Black Rock, bordering Fairfield.

I'll be investing in the South Side but will be traveling from Libertyville to Illinois/Indiana border so am flexible to meet pretty much anywhere.Thanks,Matt

Here is a good Washington Post article (opinion piece) that I was discussing a few months ago with MC public school teacher who I know:http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/the-great-m...Here is a less politically correct, but more data-centric overview:http://greatergreaterwashington.org/post/19285/de-...And here is a report directly from MCPS that addresses the disparity of schools in the county:http://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/OLO/Resources/Fi...More importantly, those I've spoken to believe that the trend isn't ending...

While I agree it might be from termite treatment, every termite treatment I have seen, the holes are not random as they appear here, but rather universally space around the outside border of the home, and not the interior of the home.
