Here are some of the areas that I focus in on:West side - West boulevard, Cudell, Clark-Fulton, Jefferson, Bellaire-Puritas, Old BrooklynEast side - Fairfax, Buckeye-Shaker (the north side), Waterloo Arts District, Garfield Heights, Maple Heights, Newburgh Heights, Lee-Miles (the north side), Bedford

My short term goal is to start investing in single family homes/duplexes within 100 miles of Boise as long term rentals.

About half the people I talk to are investors looking in that area.

I own one half, 3 bed 3 bath, and I’m currently living in and renovating it with plans to rent down the line.

LTRs with long term conventional financing and standard management aren't really cash flowing anywhere right now. sure, there are lower cost markets that look better on paper, but there are costs associated with those supposedly cheap markets as well - deferred maintenance, more challenging tenant base, higher cost turnovers as a percentage of the rent.2. i wouldn't pick a random market thousands of miles away based solely on statistics or numbers. 

I'm curious as to whether others have walked this mile and whether you have any suggestions on how I can accomplish this. 

Keep the top half to start6.

The wind blew that fire to our south, this time missing us by almost a mile. 

I am in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area and I am a new landlord, having purchased my first rental property about two and a half years ago.

Because in this case zoning took a 155 acre piece of real estate with incredibly prime location, and made it only worth at maximum 145 acres miles outside the city.
