I currently have a home in a small town in the deep south that is worth about 40,000, if that.

That's just my $.02 but I'm sure others have been operating differently with success.As for neighborhoods, West Side, South Buffalo, Kaisertown, decent sections of Black Rock and Riverside, pockets of North Buffalo, maybe some sections of Cheektowaga are going to fall into those categories.

Diablo above Walnut Creek every thing goes out from there in Townships that are  6 miles X 6 miles squares then they bust them down from there into 640s 160s 80s etc.. basically north south lines and east west.

I am looking to buy homes in North and South Carolina. 

I am a newly state certified General contractor in south Florida.

Also the "West End" (nobody used to call it that but I think they do now), residential area east of 27th and south of State I imagine would be prime STR location too.Garden City is formerly the trashiest area of Boise, and very rapidly on its way to becoming one of the hippest.

Basically investing in Upstate South Carolina offers a strategic advantage for those aiming for home affordability and high returns on investment.

I live in SoCal and have several properties in the midwest and south. 

South Bend and Elkhart may have different buyer demographics, price points, and demand drivers.The median list prices are under $160,000 in South Bend, targeting lower-priced properties allows for better profit margins.
