Account Closed, Born and raised in CA. 

I know it pretty well as I was born and raised here!

Never looked into Cincy for investments but My brother used to live there and I'm born and raised in chicagoland, These are two very different lifestyles, I would suggest he spends a week in an airbnb and see which he enjoys more. 

@Assad Rafiq I was born and raised in Bergenfield, NJ (Bergen County) Always hung out in JC, UC, North Bergen...all over bergenline !

Also, @Nathan Witte, I was born in Elgin and grew up in Crystal Lake!

As someone who was born in Denver and lived there most my life, I always like seeing deals there!

If you get quoted an outrageous fee... https://www.amazon.com/Havahar...Locate the hole that allowed them to get into the attic, place this at the other end, put some peanut butter in the trap, and release a few miles away.

@Reyes Tena-Martinez I was born and raised in El Paso, TX. 

Plus work orders for break down/clean boilers, trap combustion duct changes, and a new chimney liner, at $5950 for all. 

I am not opposed to long distance investing, but I'm trying to follow the recommendations of all the BP books and articles of starting in my area (born and raised here as well) because of my local knowledge of the area.
