Ft Myers was beautiful (this was probably 15 years ago), and Houston was definitely  growing (2 years ago).I'm biased toward Raleigh because I definitely think it's a great place to own property and invest.  

My feeling is if you have a choice try to be on one of the coasts for fun and beauty and try to get in the southern half of the state.

I know after renovations, this will be a beautiful property.  

I've used a dry ice blaster before it came out beautifully.

The beauty of a lease-to-own type arrangement is there is no built up equity.

@Sydney Hall, I grew up in SLO county, went to Cuesta before transferring up to SFSU, and spent most of my childhood on that beautiful coastline.. :)  We'll have a meetup there in late July when I'm back if you want to join!

I have this dream, A dream of being free from living paycheck to paycheck, working for other people in the sense of "No matter how many promotions I get, I'm still NEVER going to OWN the company I am working for.I am happily married to the woman of my dreams, and we have 3 beautiful children and a comfortable lifestyle.

We just appreciate their beauty and like working to preserve it.

Beautiful city, though!

The placenis beautiful but current owners have really lost the love.
