One of the main attractions is the Blue Ridge Parkway, a great time if you’re up for a drive.

From East New York -> Bay Ridge -> manhattan; I don’t have any limit where the property has to be!

Toll Bros on the south also has Mesa Ridge, near the mtns with great views and awesome master planned community.

BP Team, I currently have a rental in East Ridge that i'm working to infill.

@Mike Kelly we have offices in 7 markets and are expanding all the time: Smokies in TN, Blue Ridge, Ga, Gulf Shores, AL, Galveston/Crystal Beach, TX, Emerald Coast, FL, Forgotten Coast, FL, and outside Orlando 

I would like to mention that Ridge Lending Group offers a first position HELOC, called the All in One.  

Any other components I should be sure to include(I.e. specialty ridge vents, warranty length, etc.)?

There is a first position HELOC offered by Caeli Ridge, of Ridge lending that might work for you.

We bought this duplex plus with garden unit in Park Ridge,IL.

I found a lot of investor owned properties where I was at (off Blue Ridge and 71).
