The market can be tricky with its block-by-block nature, but it's been a great fit for all-cash purchases like yours.I also have a team on the ground in Detroit that helps manage everything from finding deals to overseeing rehabs, which is crucial for out-of-state investors.

One block may be legal, the next block may not be.

Its the "blocking and tackling" and going with the basics that keep you out of 90% of the problems that we see people have.

Our house is in the R2 zone (4 blocks off main) and the process to transfer the permit back in March was a breeze.

IF you don't know the number or the caller, don't answer and block. 

If so, you know that Philly bends value on a block-by-block basis and the trajectory of appreciation can be wildly different from one corner to another.

Would very much appreciate opinions on whether Canton, Ohio is a good area for buy and hold or flipping, specifically within a few blocks of intersection of routes 43 and 172.  

Some investors know block by block which places not to invest in.

That's not to say you can't do well there, but I'd encourage you to look at Belton and Temple (which can also be very rough and block to block) rather than Killeen.The good news is that there continues to be serious population and job growth in the area.  

I've lived and invested in areas like this before, and I know it can vary block by block.
