With regard to Central City specifically, it was once a thriving immigrant stronghold, then fell into disrepair—except for the recent revival of Oretha Castle Haley (OCH) Boulevard, which is certainly worth visiting.

with a negative immigration rate, that is of concern.

I dont know immigration law, so I dont know if there is anything to worry about.

Awesome question, sorry that I couldn't give it an answer but been living in Arcadia for couple yrs now I felt the same way, Immigrants from China which takes a huge percentage of the population in Arcadia tend to reconstruct the property.And for a city that average of 1M dollar worth in each property like Arcadia it makes less sense to do Buy&Hold to me that is.

Tenant claims (but no proof) that the guy is an illegal immigrant.

Hi,I am an immigrant living in the US on work visa, I am thinking of buying an investment property soon.

I am trying to rent out a house in newburgh ny. I generally know how to screen, but I am getting a bunch of illegal aliens, without social security numbers..Any tips on screening them?

Your Residency status will also have an impact.My situation is: $500k to invest, new immigrants. 

As you know I want to buy a multi family property but since I’m an immigrant I don’t have credit or social security number, luckily I found the women of my dreams and we are getting married pretty soon, I just want to know what’s the next step ?

Lots of activity there, I do some CE training may come down to Austin for investment immigration and ITIN issues.
