It’s the closest ski resorts to tens of millions of people and also has lots of other draws like snow hiking lake activity weddings Octoberfest rock climbing breweries etc.

The lower highlands is going to be the hotspot when the train comes in because it is closest to the train station in the north end.

My closest property is a 5 hours drive away. 

It’s basically a new industry … heck, in many places it really isif you think about it, buying a house is the closest thing to buying a business that the average person will experience, and given the fact that so many of us have gone through the process of doing it for ourselves, the process is even more demystified.

With Cash Flow focused real estate I know right out the gate if I buy a house that after all the cost for property management, vacancy, long term maintenance, insurance, taxes, and the house payment that my cash flow is $200 and that my tax rate on that $200 is only 20% then I KNOW for a FACT that I have $160 I can spend on a nice steak and pay my AT&T outrageous cell phone bill.

It's easy to find Fort Bragg (55% of military intermingled with civilian), not so easy to find for Jacksonville, therefore I think the statistic of ~20% intermingled is likely the closest guess we're gonna get to.

Maybe there is a way to split the lot, so you keep the half closest to the house and he buys the other half.

I'm still 1.5 hours from the closest one (til a new one opens here in 10 months) so it's not always ideal but helps if you also pick up hinges, pulls, cabinets, counter tops, lighting, faucets, etc or anything else to make the trip worth while.

The one your closest to is prob Haymarket ran by Nhan.  

Prices have gone up there but just not quite as much as the parts of the city closest to the high paying jobs.I believe the key to a neighborhood gentrifying generally it has to be at least halfway decent to begin with.
