I live a couple miles south of campus in Savoy, IL.

I do know that some folks who are doing deals as far south as Petersburg are coming to the ones I mentioned.

There is an area just south of Jefferson off of Ravinia that has some very nice homes.

Judging from the REOs the come on the market here in South Orange County, I don't think wholesaling REOs would be an option for me. 

Hi Jay,I live in Southern Indiana (40 minutes south of Indy) and can vouch for the property on Cork Bend.

The same 300k one-bedroom I mentioned above probably would have sold for half that ten years ago, but now that the initial explosion happened about a ten minute walk south, I imagine it will take at least a decade before the slow crawl of fanciness from Columbia Heights proper really shows any appreciation to the guy who bought it 2 years ago.I suppose what I'm trying to say is that if you are buying solely for appreciation in DC, it's a possibility, but not in the same way that it might be in California, as Anthony said he had heard it was.

I'd like to invest in these areas as well as the South East and South Florida.

I would be interested in land deals in Fairfield county or north haven area south along the Merritt and I-95.

I don't know how far south they go.Go to a session of rent court at the nearest district court.

The CPA I am planning to use is in Charleston, Ill.His name is Doug SagerI haven't started using them yet, but they were willing to work with me.I am currently living in South Korea
