My best tenants are those with stable blue collar jobs, typically moved to the US to work (think contract workers, laborers, etc).

We've had some luck just NE of you in the Blue Ridge Mountain area, but we are needing to put down more to get it to cash flow.

I've personally come to find if it's not one thing it's another...there might be areas with less red tape but more blue tape lol but generally speaking I think it strongly depends on your company's strategy to determine which tape will have the least amount of friction...What is your company's strategy?

Louis from a distance seems like a blue collar city.

Account ClosedGo back to page 2 of this thread ;-)  The one there is the 3500kg model (payload about 1.5 tonnes), physically the same size but lighter rear suspension.

Everything feels lighter when we are in an inspired state.

and I hope so I want to spend a good amount of time on those blue ribbon trout streams!!

Seems like a nice blue collar area.

But you have to find that investor who will trust you to run their business for them in the area.Many agents have good luck with investors by finding the niche that they are expert in - be it an area of town - Mid-town, Waldo, Blue Springs, JOCO, etc or a type of listing - rental property, bank owned properties, auctions, short sales, or type of property - houses, multi family, apartments.  

There are several blue collar/middle class/lower middle class neighborhoods where you can buy that have good tenants.
