But I've looked at hundreds (if not thousands) of properties in Ridgeland, Brandon, Clinton, Madison, Pearl, etc., and have figured out what I and my wife are willing to tolerate.

@David PereI'm a Pearl City girl who married a mility brat who went to my high school in the 80's.

So its a little like a pearl.

"As the largest metro area by landmass in the continental U.S., Jacksonville, like many other cities on our list, claims a growing job market and population.

@Brandon Pearl  how can you tell the neighbors are hoarders?

Looks like pearl financing might be able to help me with my financing needs.

I am interested in B properties; however, I have been looking into the Continental Ranch area and Marana area.

If you have an eggshell, pearl type finish (not flat), then you might try TSP and warm water in a squeeze out sponge mop (I like a new one, not the dirty one left behind, or one used on floors).Just get it (the mop) damp and do the walls with TSP (or TSP substitute) and follow with clean water (before it dries). 

If you are a National Association of Realtors member, Pearl Insurance offers some pretty good rates (no association, just satisfied customers).

An example of what I am looking to buy is 952 W Pearl St.
