Oh god, Blue Ridge. 

B: Good professional/upper blue-collar housing.

There also is a lot of existing product in solid, blue collar areas in Chicago like Orlan that sells for less than replacement cost.

My latest idea is to buy a STR, ocean front, near where I live in SoCal.

Currently in Blue Ridge Mountains rentals program What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

A few credit unions and local banks will do a cash out refinance at 80 percent for preferred, blue chip customers.

Is there any approach that anyone can recommend to justify continued investment in an area like this, where an actually good deal may only come along or be "made" every once in a blue moon, and if not, how do I convince my partner to expand her horizons?

Hello All, we have found an ocean side property in SC, and closing the transaction tomorrow as our investment property.
