Just a side note, the blue porch ceiling is a historical thing native to Savannah.

Always great to see another CT native on here.

I'm a Cleveland native as well, born & raised .I'm currently starting off in wholesaling here in the city , trying to get my foot in the door .

Are there any Akron, or Ohio natives that can tell me about the city, where it's going, what the mayor and other politicians have planned, trends of the city, or really anything about it that would be useful to an out of state investor like myself? 

@Jason Flynn  I'm a  native Californian and would love to be able to own more property here but the numbers just don't make sense.

I'm a Binghamton native and for sentimental reasons have researched the area for investments.  

NH native checking it; great place to live by almost every objective standard!

I too support the FairTax.You might want to ask the Native Americans how not paying property taxes ensured their permanent ownership of land.Originally posted by Greg Turnquist: With sales taxes, the tax base is wider, and people that make money through even illegal activities would still be paying into the tax basis, lowering the overall tax needs for everyone.Do you really think this would significantly change the economics of governement funding, or is this an emotion grabber?

@Adam Sharp I'm a local Bay Area native investing out of state.

i moved to los angeles county fairly recently from nyc however my heart is forever in asia, my mom's ancestors' homeland. well my dad's a caribbean islander of mostly native amerindian descent but i find the caribbean is heavily europeanized, even with the afro & latino majorities. so, i tend to vacay and expend humanitarian efforts moreso in asia than here in the 'new world'.so if i could move anywhere within USA it would have to be even more 'West'ward til proximal to the Far East - HAWAII, GUAM AND OR MICRONESIA(!)
