Neighborhoods to invest in is a more subjective topic as that is often dependent on the type of investment you're interested in, your price point and even the type of tenants, if that's the route your going,  that you are trying to attract.

The area you're targeting might be too small for anyone to be able to provide any detailed insight.

Just wanted to provide the BP community with some context on this thread...Our team provides affordable housing for residents in multiple states, and unfortunately sometimes we run into unruly residents.One such resident is Shawn Sheedy.

Each program is a little different so it just depends on your situation and income.They are quick and easy though once you get your certificate you can work with any Bank or Lender that is approved to use those DPA's.

Sometimes you dont have much of a middle ground depending on the demographics.

J Scott, one of the more respected authors/authorities on BP, provides scenarios in which wholesaling can be done legally and ethically.  

I provided gel bait, then exterminator.

He/she can also provide guidance / consulting throughout the year.Best of luck

Lastly, Rochester, the most affordable of the four, provides great opportunities for investors looking for higher cap rates (8-10%) in multifamily properties.

It was all really quick, and the time to complete everything happened a lot faster than I expected (which was a good thing).I was worried at first that I had to use all the partners that Rent to Retirement had, but it was really easy for me to shop around for different lenders with different terms and rates, insurance providers, and property management company.
