A 2 bedroom in town verse a 2 bedroom that overlooks water are completely different things. 

The only concern we run into is occasional foundation issues near the river, towards the south east side of town.

Quote from @Laura Morlock: I have an opportunity to purchase a very beautiful and unique property - striking century manor house directly on the river, 1.5 acres, huge detached garage/workshop, in a quaint little town 15 mins to two major cities and a little under an hour west of Toronto.I know the property inside and out, it's turnkey, and I would love to own it, but I don't know what to do with it.

Slim just left town.

This is my second step into this world.Quick introduction about me:I'm 28, I live in a small town in Quebec, Canada.

There are small communities in Texas where the 3 or 4 small brokerages in town just keep a list between themselves or have created a Facebook group among themselves to promote their listings.I have run across a few Brokers over the years that just worked with buyers in the purchase of HUD/VA foreclosures and were not Realtors and therefore not members of a Board/MLSHowever, in any MLS that I have been involved with if the Broker is a member of the MLS, all of their agents are also required to be members. 

I am interested in neighboring towns near New Albany. 

For anyone interested, here's what happened at each bank:1) The credit union turned me down because 1) the LLC isn't local, 2) they had no way to enter an IRA as the owner of the account in their system, and 3) they were concerned about not being able to control my appropriate use of the funds as manager. 2) Wells Fargo - I went to the local branch who didn't have availability to meet with me and sent me to the next town over 40 minutes away for an appointment with a "specialist" who could help me. 

@Abigail King I invest in several towns in central IL, and am interested in adding some properties in Peoria to my portfolio as well. 

BP Community:I’m building out a list of videos that will highlight the economic development in the specific cities/towns we invest in.
