They ALL display a "file corrupted" message when I try to preview them on my computer.

and I like to think I knew this was going to happen,  but lo and behold the Graton Indians bought the 120 acres right across the street and built the largest Indian Gambling facility in northern CA. and my property got swept up into the city limits and rezone from AG to mixed use resi and commercial.. value today once permitted conservatively 2 to 3 million.. did it give me cash flow No not one dime.. could it have gone no were sure could of.. did I get lucky I do believe I did... but at the end of the day it was on the border of the city limits and there was a Homedepot anchored shopping center and a freeway interchange one block over.. so I thought Some day.. and in another 5 years I think I will cash in.... and or I will build it out.But by the time that happens I will have owned it 25 years or so...

Did the tenant display disruptive behavior?

In the border cities (near WI and IN), population is declining as they migrate across the other states with lower property taxes.I agree with you: Chicago is NOT favorable for buy-and-hold...for CASHFLOW.

I'll certainly be keeping that in mind as we become landlords - it will be a business, but we'll try not to screw good people over who display that they are good tenants.

I live on the Bushwick/Ridgewood border, right near the Jackie Robinson, so I'm similarly open to parts of Queens and the Bronx as target areas.

Elmira and Waverly are on the New York side of the border.

I am just on the other side of the Idaho border in Hayden.

I'm a transplant from Canada, moved here (Bay Area, CA) about a year ago, and taking up permanent residence in the US.I have an investment property and other things (i.e retirement accounts and so on) back in Canada, looking for a CPA here that can help me with the straight forward stuff (filing taxes every year and so on) as well as advisory from time to time (whether it's dealing with cross border strategies to minimize the tax bites, or the same with US investment properties).I have an accountant in Canada as well so this person doesn't necessarily have to be say, a CGA/CA or whatever in Canada as well (but super bonus points if they are and can do both my US / Canadian returns!)
