Depending on exact location west side can be very high crime or a good blue collar area. 

If you'd like to know a little more about me, please read that post and feel free to comment or send me a message.I currently have a career in the blue collar industry as a Crane Operator.

We own 2 stilt houses in ocean lakes, 4bed/4bath- did about 145k last year combined, its a great market but as others have said have to buy right

This 4 plex that my son is working on has new appliances, with the blue film still protecting the stainless steel faces, new cabinets and is totally empty of trash.

I didn't get the job and the state turned more and more blue, so I decided against it.

It's easy to pass them all by and find one with amazing ocean views and bad decor, or better yet a STR with modern decor and close to the ocean.

We have small lots in an ocean front community and everybody has some kind of rock(we had lava rock- I hate that stuff).

Great place, great people and the beautiful outdoors (from ocean to mountains).All the best in your efforts,Mike

The showers/bathtubs are a really odd blue color, but are in really good shape so I was leaning towards leaving them.

Then, one day, out of the blue, you told me you were quitting.
