Most of the properties I've seen are in areas like Lancaster, Balch Springs, Seagoville, Grand Prairie, between Cedar Crest and I-20, west of Dallas Executive Airport, East Arlington, Southeast Arlington, Southeast Ft Worth, and North Richland Hills.

This house is in a great location, a 15 minute drive from Hartsfield Jackson International Airport and a 20 minute drive from downtown ATL.

I am over by the airport and looking to network with like minded people.

Anything south of the airport, toward Tacoma, has much better cap rates. 

Safe areas with decent c-o-c are mostly newer suburban and include East Arlington, Southside, Fleming Island, Far Northside (near the airport) where they likely won't lose value anytime soon, but considerable appreciation is very unlikely too. 

@Brandon Turner  I agree with most of these, so I won't repeat anything that has been mentioned... but I like to find areas within an hour of a major airport. 

Atlantic City airport will be closing down eventually and while the coach buses are nice they are inconvenient.

I also platted the last phase of Wildwood Estate and did the first Mello Roos in Nevada county. which again bad timing that bond issue crated and those lots if you recall sat there for almost 10 years before finally being sold off.our timing was OH so close... any way I am doing stuff in Sac now so getting down there I can pop into the airport there in Marysville this summer !!

Hey there Methuselah , i was born in CA and worked in Van Nuys for years, i worked off of hayvenhurst next to the airport.

@Dawn Anastasi yes the couple provided their midwest landlord who I called and got a raving review but it's a private owner so who knows, in retrospect.And they indicated they were staying at Extended Stay America Pasadena since they flew into CA, which struck a chord with me as months ago when I relocated from NYC, I also stayed in Extended Stay America but the one right near Long Beach Airport, until I closed on this house. in retrospect, i realize when i advertised for a housemate on CList months ago, i had initially indicated i stayed at Extended Stay America and had just closed on my home and was looking for a housemate (and found a great one just weeks ago, who is also from NYC but now works for Los Angeles Fire Department and Los Angeles Police Department thru a government contractor. would not put it past these characters to have actually stalked my CList posts and gathered info to use to sugar-coat their story. anyways i dont wanna get my housemate involved as he's new but at least he has connections as far as some of his clients, if it comes to that for whatever it might be worth if things escalate and/or become violent. i'm a very diplomatic person, not sure if that helps in this sutation though =/they offered to pay more rent ($300 more per month) and of course i said no, you need to work on finding a new place better and fast before time runs out for your situation. and in reply they (well the father, he does most the yapping) just asked me to install area rugs which they initially agreed to install in the first place even before 3 kids magically appeared in the picture and now are claiming the rugs will help deaden the sound but that I have to furnish them. guess there's suddenly a few screws coming lose as the act is finally falling to pieces. i mean who in their right mind is going to cater to their 'needs' after being lied to and my signature forged (God knows where else?!).
