Some border patrol agents were killed when they put there bulletproof Tahoe in park, the doors unlocked, and the bad guys opened a door and shot them all.

I have a fourplex bordering that area off Broadway and Franklin that has done well over the past 14 years.

Its easier to repaint and I do not let the tenants paint or use wallpaper or borders.

Some of the other strategies taught that border on practicing RE is where the issue can lie.

I'm new to BP and found your old post from 2 yrs ago, I'm living in Aurora and been investing in the Aurora/Naperville border along Eola rd, my initial plan was stick to good school, district 204, all my properties (townhomes) have done well for me since 2014, good tenants, never had any issues with tenants, property appreciations also pretty well. 

We’re a Canadian couple ....Driving over on your days off might lower your anxiety.Maybe stay overnight in a motel, get your hair cut there, eat in the restaurants.Get to know a few cities well, and get to know the neighborhoods there.Talk to a few realtors and shop in the local grocery stores.After a few trips, you will know where is not safe, and where is more safe than the not safe.Also once you cross the border 911 is the call code for help if you need it, but don't expect the Red Coated Mounties in their shiny brown boots. 

I grew up in Aroostook County Maine, right on the border of Canada.

Dude, as long as the feds don't recognize a state's right to regulate the sale and consumption of reefer within its borders, I would avoid it.

There are borders on the bottom, around the sink and up top (green leafy stuff going on). 

If you actually look into what Greg Rogers and Vincent Polisi are saying they are not only correct, they are trying to warn people about the possible legal ramifications of doing things illegally or even bordering on illegal.
