Paul Timmins I'm also interested in learning what areas are good to buy in within the Detroit borders.

Maybe I should take it up, seems like a good skill to have for networking/negotiations, haha.Small world.I used to live in Newton Corner a minute or so from the hotel.Also lived in Brighton right on the border near the golf course.Still own that place as a rental. 

Those companies    who do succeed have a presence on both sides of the border who can hold the hands of and explain how the whole cross border transaction should be setup most efficiently, as well as offer that comfort feeling that their property will perform as advertised.

We did an audit of cap rates in 2016 going in concentric circles around Boston and found that once you crossed the border things started getting far more attractive.

I'm feeling lucky, would buy a lottery ticket, but gambling without free drinks just feels wrong.

Without this large influx of cash it'd take you 10+ years saving 10% of your annual income to get to that amount and you're willing to gamble on a go big or go home mentality?

I've found tons of gems at the builder's auction (the company that does them in my area is Paranzino Brothers, they are right across the border from me in Ohio http://www.pbauctions.com ).

Here is the situation:My house sits on the border of one of the most expensive parts of the town and one of the worst.

Take a gamble on birdtown for cheaper property?
