This area usually has a good rental demand due to its proximity to NYC and public transportation (Path/bus/light rail).

In my opinion, this is the best way to stay ahead of the curve, because once everyone begins to feel comfortable, you've probably missed the first wave of appreciation.In general, especially around here, buyers and renters place a premium on access to public transportation.

Richmond gives mre access to better transportation alternatives and properties overall will end up being valued higher there then Vallejo.

Hello All....I was wondering about the Texarkana region of Texas for investing in Multifamily property...I don't know the area and I was just wondering what the opinion is of the area....is it a dead zone or does it have potential for some future growth or at the least, a good place to invest for stable cash flow.I spoke with some brokers today and I got two very different viewpoints...one guy flat out said it sucks and my money would be better spent elsewhere and another painted a rosy picture with lots of business and transportation going on in the area...I would love to get the opinion from people here on BP as I value my fellow investors in the area with boots on the ground.I realize its not one of the hotter markets that is in the news all the time...I am looking for a good stable market that isn't dying and has potential for at least some future growth.....thanks for the helpJeff

The numbers seem to work but I'm not familiar with the area.Anything I should know about the area near the Arrott Transportation Center?

@Thomas Gardner that would be ideal other than the fact that transport and setup can be expensive.

My non legal opinion is that wholesalers and wholesale deals in Illinois  are unregulated and that may be a slippery slope.

The risk of contracting the virus especially is a huge concern for blue collar workers who don’t just have to work in high contact areas, they often have to endure other challenges like long commutes in public transport systems which further enhance the risk.

The Department of Transportation?

At the moment, my career situation does not support completely moving/transitioning from my current industry (transportation), to RE, full time.
