If you're going to park your money in Florida, put it far away from the prying eyes of hurricanes in the bustling and booming Orlando Metro Area!

Nowhere near the level of hustle and bustle I would prefer to see so our house can attract a new owner.

@Tyler - I took Roy's advice and did NOT buy in Saint John as cheap isn't a deal always. ya its cheap, and as he told me lots of out of towners come in, and then don't do well.go look to a town that's bustling - saint john is a dump in the under 100K areas - I go there 3 times a year for work, and heeded to the advice, and bought Ontario instead (not saying NB is bad, just I have boots here in Ont)

Making 63k and paying 6k in rent allowed me to save and travel extensively (Went to to Egypt, Australia, etc.). 18 months after graduating from Berkeley, I bought my 5/3 house in DC suburbs - Virginia and I was making $70k+ and collecting $2600 rent to pay 2000 rent (1500 piti on 255k house) and utilities.

I'm in the Norwood area (with 3 commuter rail stops on the Franklin T Line) and $5-6 might buy you a smaller/older multi with 2-3 units.I would highly recommend you explore the Franklin area (Also on the Franklin T Line) as property prices are lower, there is a bustling down town, there is a growing college and there are is a large office park.

The Audubon location off of Egypt Road and others before that.

That said, Surprise isn't a bustling metropolis or anything, but you're definitely not getting land there for $111 per acre.Surprise is a relatively well-known city in the NW portion of the Phoenix area.

Now I have to contact this person holding the judgment up in BF Egypt, NYC on my borrower and try to negotiate a settlement as with interest the judgment has accumulated, we can't close on the loan because he doesn't have the Freakin reserves now!!!

These aren't bustling metropolises like LA, NYC, Boston, Chicago where there isn't enough room to grow or (some) people are leaving due to various reasons. 

I was just thinking...If you find a suburb with consistent growth, growing number of jobs and diversified industries, a nearby bustling metro, talks of public transportation... would you build an airport?
