I am originally from a small town in the Midwest so am familiar with it. In order to find enough deals to scale a buy and hold real estate I would most likely need to explore surrounding towns, say 20-30 miles betwe...

Thoughts on investing in “WEST LOUISVILLE” 

This is generally the area which is bordered to the north by 295, the east by Ramsey St, to the west by 210, and BUS 401 to the south. 210 and Ramsey sort of form a “V” shape to the south and Country Club Dr. cuts through the middle (W to E).I have recently found several homes in this area which meet my criteria but they move quickly and I have not been able to get one of them as of yet.

The neighborhoods of Boston include Allston, Brighton, Dorchester, East Boston, Hyde Park, Jamaica Plain, Mattapan, Roslindale, Roxbury, South Boston and West Roxbury.

@Brandon Cinquegrana Flippers and Funders in West Orange is pretty good for Northeast. 1st Wednesday of every month I believe. 

Cameron, I pulled up the pending duplexes and I am assuming you are talking about the west pikes peak property?  

If you have a solid job on the west side, it could be that your strongest strategy might be best served by starting your investing there, where the leveraging might be much more powerful for the moment than in MT, particularly because your leveraging power as owner occupant can be the best of all leverage.  

Looking for someone who has worked with a tax advisor in the Morgantown, West Virginia area, who is knowledgeable regarding real estate, rentals, etc?

Jon - welcome in advance ...the 15 min drive time you initially mention is a bit unrealistic  as  getting a few miles in that time from SLU is a rare  accomplishment …..I live in NE Seattle  ... 6 miles from my office in SLU area and it normally is a 30-45 min commute  driving  …..light rail from husky  stadium is great as I can get to office in 30 min  with a 7 block walk from Westlake  station …1.2 mill budget   should cover most of the  North / NE and NW areas of  Seattle proper  …...some other neighborhoods / areas worth a look  include  maple leaf ….Ravenna ..west seattle  ( longer sommute from here ) ...Laurelhurst ...view ridge ..wedgewood if needing financing - get  pre approved  in case you need to make a move on a property quickly  good luck and  feel free to call or email with any questions 

Familiar Southeast and hoping to jump into the mid west.
