I'd like to buy, if possible, close to two of those borders so the development front hits it from both sides.

North Tulsa (north of the brady arts district, within the Booker T school distric) and South OKC (bordering the river) are historically rougher, South Tulsa and North OKC are historically more affluent.

It benefits from being bordered by Beverly.  

The property management company I work for manages ~100 properties in the LA area, mostly in neighborhoods bordering the 605 freeway (Whittier, Downey, Commerce, South Gate, Bell Gardens, Pico Rivera, etc.)

I live on the Massachusetts/New Hampshire border and am licensed in both.

I'm from the other Vancouver, about 6 hours south of you at the southern border of Washington State.

@Katie Heer I am mostly looking on the outside of the city (lawrence or hamilton border), but would be open to other areas and possibly Philadelphia

Just south of the border from you.

The house is dirt cheap with an extra lot included-looks to be a pretty lot-ie. tree /bushes bordering it, but I can't seem to able to generate a lot of interest from investors (made a bunch of calls / emails as we just started marketing it last week).I'm wondering if investors have just gone cold there.But perhaps from your posts I'll figure out what's missing.

Although I live in Ontario Canada, I would think that this question is relevant on both sides of the border.
