If I look at places farther away, I may find something cheaper but I'll end up paying more for transportation. 

I graduated from Massachusetts Maritime Academy in 2016 with a Bachelors Degree in Marine Transportation and a 3rd mates unlimited tonnage USCG license.

This should take the average American spending on transportation from 17% to less than 5% over the next few years.

This stuff is starts on page 134.Lost the home equity loan interest deduction.Teachers can deduct $500 instead of $250 for school supplies, but this sunsets back to $250.1031's preserved for real property, perhaps with some modifications (again, lots of cross-references to existing law).Five of last 8 instead of 2 of last 5 for personal residence capital gains exclusion under section 121.Looks like if your employer pays you for transportation related expenses involved in getting to work from home, those aren't deductible/pre-tax anymore (think parking, commuter benefits, etc.).This is all from my quick skim of the bill, and not to be relied upon as legal or tax advice.

Therefore, I changed my strategy by identifying properties in desirable areas that cash investors might not be interested in because the profit margins were below average standards, but had enough margin and potential added equity that it made financial sense for my first investment.I had my realtor set up a search for SFH that needed some repairs, but were located in desirable areas - based on school districts, employers, market appreciation, transportation and a few other criteria - and promptly found a newer construction HUD home in a market that's currently going through a small revitalization.

I have a lot of clients from out of state and out of the country that buy in Downtown or close to Downtown, by transportation and the values keeps climbing at a very high rate.

Very decent area and just 10 to 15 min from downtown with access to all major forms of public transportation.

Out of high school I cut my teeth in the Transportation industry both global and domestic, following the footsteps of my Grandfather who was well respected in the business.

I currently work for Missouri Department of Transportation as a Highway Designer.

Homes in the area are selling for $650k and up.I have a contractor and a lot lined up, but I don't I'm not sure how much it would cost to transport the house and if there are any finance companies that can help.
