Unless you you can scalp tickets from your ticket oak that is. :)

I'm in the Ferndale/Royal Oak/Hazel Park are, with the hope to be established as quickly as possible as to be a big-time player in Detroit's come-back.Thanks.Kyle

I understand that there may be dodd-frank issues there, but how does one create incentive for the Tenant/Buyer to where they are somehow chipping away at the price of the sale.

Wikipedia says the perimeters are: 54th St -71st St East of I-95 and West of Biscayne Blvd Miami is a red hot market right now but properties are still as cheap as chips in the ghetto that stretches out West including Brownsville and Liberty City- cos yeah, no one wants to risk getting shot for buying a cheap property.

I go into the house to find amazing $5/sq foot flooring throughout the property when I planned to do the $.70/sq foot flooring due to it being a cheaper house ($40k), so I called him and said "hey this really isn't in my budget I can't afford this stuff it is going to blow the budget".He started laughing out loud and said it was meant to be a surprise his buddy that works at a hardware store had someone bail on a special order of this oak bamboo flooring that is $5/Sq foot and he got it for $.99/ Sq foot and he was under budget on the rest of the house so he hooked it up.Just goes to show having a great contractor can make a world of difference.

I'm thinking of those towns as blue chips, sure they'll continue to appreciate but the rate will be much lower because they're discovered, established, etc..., but there are people who want to buy homes in coastal areas and cannot afford those so they'll seek more affordable areas and my hope is that if you can locate those now and find the pattern/trend and hold for 20-30 years those are the areas that will have tremendous appreciation.Wow, this ended up way longer than I meant it to be, so if you've read this far I appreciate it!

Just adopt a problem solver mentality and let the chips fall how they may my friend.  

If you don't have children, or prefer private school, I would look at the West Oak Forest and Avondale areas of West Ashley and North of King/Meeting Street on the Peninsula.
