I'm based just over the border but would like to network more in that area.Thanks, Filipe 

Lots of people live on one side of the border and work on the other.

@John Mathewsonwe are always looking for deals just over the border into Illinois in 60617.  

That greatly dictates the kind of deals you’re going to find... the numbers you find on NH/MA border properties are going to be significantly different than ones in say Nashua or Manchester

I was born and raised in Mexico in a border town but have been living and working in the states since 2001.I currently work full time as QA/QC Director for an Industrial construction company, I have been here since 2002. 

I'm amazed that so many people believe this.To set the record straight, it is true that, if you want to buy property in the so-called "forbidden zone (within 100 kms from an international border or 50 kms from a coastline), you have to own it through a fideicomiso (bank trust) or a Mexican corporation (a corporation is better if you own more than two properties).

Is there some border line there?

Port Richmond is great but there are some pretty hard borders (Aramingo and Allegheny, I'm looking at you).

But, again, due to the peculiarities of the area, you can still find plenty of good deals (by my definition) here.Again, this is an up-and-coming area with a long history, much of it ugly, just outside the formal borders of a Rust Belt city.

I have been focusing more on buying in the city of Cleveland proper now, but near the Euclid border (off of Lakeshore, E. 185th, etc.), as those areas draw solid tenants as well but have much lower property taxes and also now city POS stuff to deal with.
