So, while I can not speak to what goes on in the so-called “hood” I can say we have some bad apples up here in the ‘burbs.

I love how all my APPLE devices SINC to the computer.

And I should be able to almost save up enough to cover a 2nd property.Currently I only have 15 varieties of blueberries, 2 apple trees, cherries, currants, elderberries, honeyberry, and 3 different varieties of raspberries.This next year I hope to plant 12 apple trees, 3 or 4 pear trees, 80 raspberries, 50 blueberry, 10 grapes, 10 elderberry, 20 cherry bushes.  

Apple, Google, Xerox, Fuji film, and Meta are all coming into the area. 5k people a month move to the area which has created a housing shortage, rent spikes, major appreciation (not just due to inflation) and you can still find single family homes for sale on the MLS in good condition for ~250k+ Tenant-landlord laws are landlord-friendly and taxes are low.

If you have a droid phone or tablet, they are available on an app called Stitcher (I don't know about Apple products).

I also used business cards mounted on magnets, and told them to call when they needed to sell. 

What prices are we talking about because as many fo us just ran-away with what we understand this as, it's a good point to make sure were talking apples-2-apples here. 

It is not a few bad apples, it is a profession that attracts bad apples.

You want to always be comparing apples to apples.

Lower expenses by canceling reoccurring expenses (gym, Xbox live, Netflix, Apple Music and so on) eat at home things like that the little things add up I recommend budgeting and tracking to see where you can make those cuts.
