I work for the Federal Gov't in downtown Philly and enjoy that a great deal.

If it's over $10,000 then following your logic it is "over priced" because there are hundreds of homes on the market in Detroit for $10,000.In southern California you can pay $800,000 in Redondo Beach, $500,000 in Long Beach, $200,000 in Lake Elsinore--all of these areas house people who work in downtown LA.

I joined the real estate investment club that meets in the downtown area (Jackson more specifically).

Welcome to the boards.League City's southeast of Houston, about halfway from downtown Houston to Galveston.

.- 3,1 - 986 sq ft - Built in 1940 - Rougher Side of Houston, but NOT a warzone, in fact this street is more of an elderly neighborhood, This house is close to MANY of Houston's attractions (downtown, reliant stadium, minute maid park, the Toyota center, Texas medical center, museum district, and about 4 Universities)After my due diligence we came up with the following numbers.- ARV = $82,500 (which was conservative, recent comps for smaller houses came back slightly higher)- Repairs needed = Around $10,000 for rental - (Needs central air, some rotten board on the outside, some doors/sheetrock repair, and painting)We wanted to try to start out with a $10,000 assignment fee to split between us and work our way down depending on what they would take as an offer.

It has a great location near downtown and many businesses around.Would serve a a great luxury building for rentals.Tons and tons of these around.

I had a pretty nice leap in value last year when 2 new subway stations were completed at a 2 minutes walk from my place, connecting the up and coming suburb where I am with downtown in the big city in 30 minutes.

Unlike downtown Saigon where a good number of locals speak English (and I always took that for granted), Thu Duc was different.

I am still deciding where I want to buy my list from.I am located downtown in Chicago but am targeting the northwest side of the city and a little bit in the northwest suburbs.

The book, due out in December, is a study of Lower Manhattan and the issues that have affected downtown since 9/11.
