I have friends over at Atlanta and Charleston, SC and I like the climate there...I wonder how it compares with the Mid-West for investing.

@Shawn West Thanks for the advice!

I guess BP doesn't allow me to tag just anyone, but you should reach out to them - usually mtgs are held in West LA, the last one was in Century City.

@Kurt K. it is located in Atlantic City on the west side.  

There is also plenty of good places to invest west of there such as west allis.

The city informed me that the house to the west of my property is hooked up to my meter. 

I was in Milwaukee last summer and looking at some absolutely stunning 1930's and 1940's craftsmen homes that would be well over 1 million in our market and they were 60k and would cost probably 500k to replace... this is the same in virtually every market in the upper mid west and other parts of the mid west as neighborhoods turn from owner occ like they were 30 years or more ago to rentals... and they will NEVER return save the little pockets that are right by down town areas and developer with VERY deep pockets come in and  re- gentrify.. this is playing out in most big cities for sure.ON the West coast were we do NOT have enough houses for all the people's that live here,   values hold by and large,   Very few SFRs are bought as rentals in comparison to mid west rust belt..

Hey guys, my name is Nicholas Benoist, I'm 33, and I recently moved to Tupelo, Mississippi for a JOB. I currently work as an air traffic controller and I am a 6 year active Army veteran. I also have a commercial pilot...

Municipalities in CO and other areas of the west are buying up water rights from farms to support growing populations, but they need large amounts in contiguous buys to be worth their while. 

But my general impression is the west side is GREAT for rentals.
