Scranton PA is a great spot to invest.Pros:- Low cost of buy-in / not much needed in comparison to other areas due to affordability in purchase price- High-Cap Rates- High Cash Flows- Stable market / continuing to appreciate- Beautiful revitalization of the downtown- Influx of jobs, employment opportunities - Plenty of renters- New Amtrak service coming- Surrounding neighborhoods are sought after, solid schools, "home team" mentality in most of the towns where people want to stayFor the Cons:- I can't think of any OVERALL cons that couldn't be avoided in working with the right team.

Hear from Mitzi Taylor, Broker/owner in her home town of Pea Ridge; Lori Hawkins and her husband handle Madison County residential and land listings for Smith & Assoc with major focus on Huntsville; and Robert Smiley of McGraw Realty covers Siliam Springs as well as Eastern Oklahoma.

Turnkey properties are popular in Old North, Merion Village, Southern Orchards, Old Towne East, Driving Park, North Linden, North Hilltop, Franklinton, Reynoldsburg, and Hungarian Village.For BRRRR and Fix & Flip, consider Eastmoor, Hilltop, Whitehall, and Linden.

To be fair this GC has his estate home next to my project and he did not want to see starter homes going in. we build semi custom highest price in town .. so there was quality of project that also interested him.. this would be a rare event out in the market..

That's the problem because you have no ultimate control of your property and it's a sign that you're treated second class compared to the locals .

It would also give you more control and flexibility in how you manage your properties while ensuring you can take full advantage of tax deductions available to businesses.

That way you would atleast control the foreclosure on the property. 

@Jordan Townes - Looks like the bank is denying the HELOC because they know that taxes are likely ahead of them and the HELOC would be in second position to the taxes.

Quote from @Victoria Phifer: I don't recommend charging anything on a credit card unless you have total control of your finances and can pay off the balance every month.I charge everything I can to credit cards, but I pay the balance off every month, 100% without fail.

Those vacation towns are STR friendly, but Michael is right, a lot of urban areas don't allow STRs in CA.
