I'm going to talk to some friends from just across the border of Indiana/Illinois and see if they can suggest some neighborhoods to start my search and see what I can come up with.

The property is on the border of an up and coming area with an elementary school and middle school less than a mile away.

Also, has anyone read the book https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0091ZCIZU/ref=wl_it_dp_o...I'm considering buying it to get even more details from a border crossing perspective.

CB Poynor called to see if I could help sell his 18,000 acre ranch in south Texas, near the Mexico border.

Get a pre-listing inspection and attach copies of it along with the property flyers you have on display in the home.

I appreciate everyone on this site for the wealth of knowledge they are willing to share and the welcome arms displayed for newbies. 

Hard to do that so remotely.I have a group of people I work with right across the Indiana border from South Holland and Lansing.

This area is more classic strip malls and suburbia though, which as more traditionally been Spokane's identity.There is also a lot of growth out in Spokane Valley and Liberty Lake as you get closer to the Idaho border.

Going over the border there is the NH RE Mastermind in Nashua.  

I would look anywhere up and down parts of North Jersey that borders NYC or not too far away.
