On the North Side we run real life at 1-2% vacancy and run our analysis at 3%.

I have a lead on a property that was north of $2M during the peak but I have heard the area has seen pricing coming back to reality and would be curious to get a sense for how values are faring in the area. 

Wish I could have done it earlier in the loan, but I had neither the savings nor the equity :/

Quote from @Andrea Ward: I recently purchased a small tract of undeveloped, heavily wooded land in North Mississippi in a neighborhood.

There are less restrictions in North Las Vegas and Henderson.The city is very protective of the big casino/hotel operators, and rightfully so. 

I'm looking locally to start out (mid size city in North Carolina) - is the answer a different market?

I invest about an hour north in Sheboygan and I focus on long term rentals. 

We are interested in investing in coastal North & South Carolina.

I got into the industry in 2014 with a property management job on Lake Ponchatrain in Slidell, north of New Orleans.

@Tanarat BunchomOn my flips, I just got started in the Scranton area, and I don't have the experience, but I could see that the North Scranton area like Greenridge, and the surrounding areas like Taylor, Dunmore, Old Forge, Olyphant, ect are definitely desireble areas, for instance in Taylor I am finishing now a flip, and people are keeping to ask me if I wanna sell it before it's even on the market.
