THE SOUTH DALLAS AREA IS A BAD PLACE TO INVEST IN REAL ESTATE CRIME IS BAD AND DRUG DEALER ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE I WOULD ADVICE YOU NOT TO BY ANY PROPERTY IN SOUTH DALLAS AREA OR WEST DALLAS AREA I LIVE IN GRANDPRAIRIE TX ABOUT 40 MINS FROM SOUTH DALLAS I HAVE PROPERTY IN CEDAR HILL AND GRAND PRAIRIE THERE A LOT OF GOOD AREA IN DFW AREA BUT STAY AWAY FROM THESE TWO AREA

I also sold my own personal duplex in Kalamazoo (west side of Michigan) for $59,000 that was renting for $1,425 per month and a bungalow sale pending that is rented for $835 a month for $30,000.  

I currently own a 3 family home property in the West End of Hartford.  

Anyone on the west coast have this issue or challenge? 

We are actively looking for a vacation rental cabin in the Asheville/Brevard, NC area...although we're scouting as far west as Highlands and as far east as Little Switzerland.  

I am looking for something in West Los Angeles, LAX or Torrance areas.

I keep seeing things that say the mid west is the place to invest.

I'm planning to liquidate about $1,000,000 of mid-west farmland (no debt; cap rate of 2.6%) and invest in multi-family.

It has a decent cash-flow, but far less compared to the equity locked in that home when seen from mid-west or Florida kind of locationsI am still trying to refine my strategy as I get ready to make my next investment move by end of this year and hope to nail it through interaction with experts in this forum.

Panama City Beach is only really nice on the west end, a near hour drive from Tyndall AFB.
