Devin Borders this is going to be tough.

The other thing is see is people using light pastel colors like tan or green or blue in paint with a bright white border trim .

@Elaine LaiI currently own several units in Cleveland, 2 of my duplexes are on the west side in Lakewood and another in Cleveland right on the border of Lakewood. 

Ready for a second deal, I have come across a private sell in a slightly sub-par area of town (I would guess C to C- neighborhood) close to the older down town/industrial district (I live in Hobbs, NM, an oil and gas town hugging the west Texas border).

There is a meetup held in Haverhill MA which is right on the border, I will send you info : )

I'm on the Tennessee side of the NC border and totally agree with you - still lots of opportunities in some of these southeast US markets. 

Unfortunately our plans to buy in Windsor changed when we started networking south of the border, and am now buying and selling in Ohio, New Jersey, and Tennessee.

Unfortunately the property is border-line near crime areas.

I hope to retire south of the border in about 10 years, so at 55. 

Seems like in most cases they own the bordering property, know the family and think they can get a simple agreement to split.
