Thanks @Josh Compton.I am looking in western NC, right near the TN border.

Then you have the annual inspections which, again, in my market I would say is bordering on abusive. 

I found this simpler than going through the court process.When I need to evict on the Maryland side of the border, if the cash for keys thing does not work, I outsource my evictions to marylandevictionsonline.com.  

3rd ward had a lot more on the market and commanded a higher rent, but if you've spent any time in 3rd ward you know that those MF properties that border the museum district tend to be the nicest (hence the higher rent, closer to amenities) and as you go East you start to lose neighborhood quality - this is a gross generalization, of course, and just my observation.

As it straddles the TN/KY border both states have a very significant economic interest in seeing it remain open. 

Be well, and if you ever find yourself on this side of the Connecticut border, reach out! 

Out of the three Solano County cities you mentioned - Vallejo, Fairfield, or Benicia - my gut feel is that Vallejo will cash flow best. but a a cost due to the challenges of crime & the economy there.In general, the safest & nicest area of Vallejo is known as "Glen Cove" - if you look at google map, it is bordered on the North by 780, on the West by 80, on the East by Benicia State Park, and on the South by the Carquinez Strait.

The laws in each state about real estate vary from state to state, each state has the right to control how contract and land law works inside its borders.

The numbered streets run east/west and are numbered south to north (2nd St or Patterson Plank is the southernmost street/borders Jersey City, 49th is the northernmost border with West New York), John F Kennedy is the westernmost border with North Bergen, and Palisade or Park is the easternmost with Weehawken or Hoboken. 

Once time my Dad and hise wife were pulled out of the car at the border art gun point because they had cruised across for a few hours for luch and on the way back they both answered their professions were "Real Estate" and the border patrol didnt buy it. haha Thats the issue, how can you describe exactlly what you do in ONE word!
