Hubs and I lived in Lee's Summit for ten years before moving to Peculiar.Thanks for the tips, @Gena Kirkwood!

The path of progress isnt going through that area anytime soon as the area isnt located close enough to a major city or hub of any sort, most people commute eastward for work as there arent many high paying jobs in the area. 

West Palm might be a good place to consider (not too long of a trip to the yachting hubs.)... still able to cash-flow nicely. 

It doesn't' actually teach you anything about politics, it's just entertaining sensation porn.

NYC, DC, SF, and LA have reached cost-of-living numbers that are more laughable every week.When my wife and I talk about our eventual migration, a lot of our interest is to be plugged into a local urban environment, but also be close enough to the metro hubs for visits, culture, and my business.

I see the city/community is trying to revitalize this hub.

The thing that attracted me to the Twin Cities area is how many white collar jobs there are (it's a banking hub in the midwest). 

Also, there is a fairly active REIA in Hagerstown (Hub City REIA) and it might be a good place (besides BP of course) to meet some local people.Good luck.

Areas around old worn out industrial, agricultural and/or at one time popular tourist and vacation destination hubs and residential communities that have seen their day and are starting to turn to rubble are prime targets for abandonment.I recall one area in particular where I used to spend many many vacations.

your in the right place, we have webcasts and info hubs where you can learn lots about real estate.
