However on the East side of Little Haiti bordering Biscayne there are some very nice streets.

From the city-data maps I've looked at, west Philly and pockets of north Philly are the places to avoid but I could be wrong.IMHO, yes to avoiding North and West, however, there are profitable neighborhoods bordering these areas.

I cannot go into the details of our current situation, but I will state that the renovations will outweigh the amount of rent we've collected from them over the past two years.For performance of credit checks, we use TVS (available on both sides of the border) and Rentcheck (Canada specific).  

I'm jealous of your second amendment rights, here in the not-so great state of NJ, that particular right to carry doesn't exist, youee the Constitution stops at our border with PA.  

The property mentioned borders Gravios Park on Louisiana. 

In fact, Wayne county borders up against Washtenaw county where you are familiar with *AA and Ypsi).  

  - there are a number of differences, but the regimes are broadly similar (in fact, the larger "cross border" funds are often two mirror funds, one in each country, that allow residents of each country to invest in the fund resident in their respective countries).  

I had a place in British Columbia for a time.. and I can tell you they let NO Hispanics into that country... they stop them at the border..

So if you have a time frame of several years you might consider some of the border areas with upside potential (not so decent areas of Avondale, Crestwood north closer to Woodlawn). 

If you decide to cross the eastern CT border and invest in Rhode Island I'm here for ya.
