This is in Western Massachusetts market in West Springfield, MA.You are right.

Lots of decent houses that would probably rent for $500-800 - most of the nicer single families are in the middle to northern and western quadrant but E of the RR tracks.The WWii housing are the neighborhoods known as Hilltop (pocket near Lincoln/Oliver) and Plainview - Plainview has a mini pocket of Asian Immigrants where the houses are nice (relatively speaking) and picked up and insides (of the one's Ive seen) were decent - think they were Thai or Cantonese - can't remember - had to meet with a few folks for for former ins job there - Plainview I would never invest in - but that's me. 

Clayton, I work with New Western out of the Tarrant county location.

@Alejandro Calixto I changed my career and now working in western suburbs area.

The only problem was Canada has extremely poor cash flow and ROI in the western provinces due to high buy in prices.My solution; to invest in the states.

Financed at Great Western Bank - Melissa Schooley - North Liberty, IA

I was able to get a commercial construction loan from Derek Bailey at Great Western Bank. 10 year note, 20 year amortization, 7 year fixed @ 5.865%, prepaid interest only for first 8 months.

Most of my investors here in the Chicago western suburbs use the 5% down conventional loan, which is my personal favorite loan for the BRRRR strategy.

Yes, I am bitter about the extreme unreliability of contractors in Western Pennsyltucky.
