My name is Jason Gottschalk, and I live in Takoma Park, right on the border of DC.

Do you attend any close to the Mass-CT border?

I think that some or even a lot of investors at 1 point or another probably tell themselves 'JUST BUY SOMETHING' in part just to finally get into investing - the hope/speculation/risk they are taking on is that the appreciation of the property is going to bail them out of any -ve or break even cash flow situation...As for me, i am in the NW burbs of Chicago (10 mins from border to WI) and have not started investing yet as i am wanting to read/learn a lot first and come up with a plan.

Palo Alto and San Francisco are only about 40 miles apart, while the 3 hour commute being discussed here from Georgia to Florida is probably 150-200 miles away, as Montgomery Alabama is probably close to 150 miles to the Florida border.

Off of Wethersfield ave near the Wethersfield border, Imagineers (local S8 program) pays $1,425 for a 4 bedroom.

The duplex is just 50 feet north of the 8 mobile homes in the center of the property, and 120 feet west of the 4 mobile homes that border Florine Lane.

@Joseph ODonovanJoeI just agreed on terms on a property on the Ventnor AC border.

I mean it's parking lot borders the railroad crossing.

My point was that despite the fact that the overall zip code of 32244 is bordering some very rough neighborhoods and has some mobile homes and questionable areas within it I wouldn't go as far as @Jeffrey Wardlow as to classify it a D neighborhood.

I currently work in consulting specialising on cross border business within the EEA structure.
