as @Anthony Angotti Angotti mentioned, it's worth looking into Pittsburgh.Always ranked as one of America's "most livable cities", great amenities, charming neighborhoods, interesting topography, diverse economy, good arts, food & & culture, great sports, relatively protected from natural disasters...it has winters, but not nearly as bad as some more northern cities. 

We believe real estate investing is a team sport, and we are interested in growing our network and our knowledge of investing.

I can see both sides to the argument, on the one hand you already paid X for the job and it should have been done up to code in the first place so the contractor should eat the cost of additional work to meet the code.On the other hand, what contractors have told me is that "code" varies not only from town to town, but from inspector to inspector (whether they think your house is a "problem house" or you're a "problem owner" they need to school, what color your house is painted, whether you like the same sports teams, the phase of the moon, whether they had an argument with their spouse last night, etc.).So from their point of view the degree of ball-busting the inspector will put them through is variable and mostly outside their control, so they should be paid for the time spent on the job which includes any extra hoops the inspector feels like putting up that day.Personally I see a lot of merit to the first position and keep the contractor's position on the issue in mind the next time I need to call someone for that kind of work.If I were you I'd raise the question with the contractor politely, but I would not expect to get anything by it.

The people are great, there's good food, and we have 3 solid sports teams (especially the Cavs, doing great this year).

Now that I have a deal done, I thought it was time to come and introduce myself.I am a thirty one year old Penn State grad and huge Philadelphia sports fan.

Because it is not my own experience, I cannot say anything else on this.)My decision was ruled purely by two mathematical considerations:1 - Not being a bettor on market appreciation, I invest for cash flow.

We have tons of new companies moving here, new sports venues being built, and a rapidly growing population.
