Greetings All,My wife and I live in Rock HIll, SC, not too far from the Charlotte, NC border.  

I myself grew up in what some would consider a "C" neighborhood (some, a "B") but was bordering some "A" neighborhoods and also very close to some "D" and even "F" neighborhoods (high crime, very unstable local government, dilapidated homes, huge loss of residential tax revenue) but it allowed me learn and know these neighborhoods and also become more comfortable, and "used" to them. 

It is just instead of having a Japanese gardner now the gardner is from south of the border is about the difference. 

Anywhere in the Valley is a great place to invest right now - the growth is tremendous and the sheer number of people crossing the border each day at the limited number of entrance points is staggering and driving the local economies.

I've got some spots I love just outside of Chicago, in border areas of Indiana and Wisconsin

It's bordering all the action in Central State where new homes are starting at 250k.

I work primarily with investors and cover everywhere from Statesville down to the SC Border and Gastonia over to Mathews & Mint Hill areas.

It is showing up in migrants coming across the Mexican border.

Tons of green space and parks, particularly on the Maryland side of the border. 

Jump the border.
