The other thing is see is people using light pastel colors like tan or green or blue in paint with a bright white border trim .

@Elaine LaiI currently own several units in Cleveland, 2 of my duplexes are on the west side in Lakewood and another in Cleveland right on the border of Lakewood. 

Ready for a second deal, I have come across a private sell in a slightly sub-par area of town (I would guess C to C- neighborhood) close to the older down town/industrial district (I live in Hobbs, NM, an oil and gas town hugging the west Texas border).

The way it displays pics and agreements really all graphics and text, is just so superior to anything out there.

There is a meetup held in Haverhill MA which is right on the border, I will send you info : )

I can display them here. $2,600 a month in rent for the first year, this is likely to increase with metro expansion and new development, but seems to be the average about now.

I was using a Microsoft Surfacebook Pro (model year 2017) that does have a touch enabled monitor, however that monitor was not in use because the laptop is attached to a normal monitor where the browser was displayed.  

I'm on the Tennessee side of the NC border and totally agree with you - still lots of opportunities in some of these southeast US markets. 

Unfortunately our plans to buy in Windsor changed when we started networking south of the border, and am now buying and selling in Ohio, New Jersey, and Tennessee.

Unfortunately the property is border-line near crime areas.
