If your spectrum of interests includes investments in real estate, then joining YCRE is an even more critical move. 

A 1 bedroom unit in the Cleveland market renting for $800/mo would be towards the high end of the spectrum, nothing to worry about there.

Broad brushes paint pretty abstract pictures. 

Cars are stolen almost daily and people are occasionally mugged in broad daylight at gunpoint. 

I was brought up on both ends of the spectrum.

I cant see being from a state you have to pay income tax in.. ( especially Californians ) then buying onezee twozee rentals in TExas and be subject to the uber high property tax and CA income tax which is also one of the highest in the country.. so you take on max tax's at both ends of the investment spectrum.. 

That's a pretty broad question and difficult to answer.

Are you between bryden and broad or near south of main?

RE is very broad.

Everything is going on in the market.Charlotte has one of the most active RE markets in the US.This is an extremely broad question, but some basic economic research on RE trends for the area should paint a good picture for you.
