So far, I've been trying them out by working with the selling agents on specific houses in my areas of interest (Emerson Heights / Little Flower).There seem to be lots of good class B houses, and lots of class C, and 'war zone' SFH's available - have you seen that $19K 4Br house with no furnace, and no hot water heater south of Fountain Square? 

Just before leaving for a weekend getaway on this past Thursday I had just gotten home from work and when I pulled into my driveway at the bottom where I have all 3 mailboxes within a nice landscaped bed of mulch, shrubs and flowers as well as a plaq for the address there was a big pile of brush thrown literally right ontop of it all.

If they say they are going to - that is the give-a-way clue that they are not going to.Now I have had tenants who landscaped beautifully, planted trees, shrubs, and flower.

I would like to know if there are concerns living/investing in these smaller towns.I am just guessing that people speculate that prices in Little Flower or Irvington will sky rocket in the coming years whereas no neighborhoods in the smaller cities of Indiana would do this?

We offered our condolences on his loss and my wife went up to see his wife a few times to take her flowers from our garden.

Flower beds, tree pruning, etc...

On the MD side of the border you can find some in Takoma Park over by Flower Ave....but Takoma Park has VERY restrictive rent control.

My name is Brian Howard and I'm from the North Dallas area, specifically Lewisville/Flower Mound. 

@Alex Flowers  - This will depend on the specific rules that your local MLS has.  

I see so much flowers, seed pods and leaves, they sit on the roof and with the daily rain in South Florida the debris completely carpet that section of the roof in a matter of days, and with the captured moisture it causes the shingle nails to rust a lot quicker over time.
