I am currently looking at deals in the 21229 area surrounding The Catonsville border line/Cooks line area.

I agree that the state income tax issue has to be a major downside to trying to sell a home right on the state border but for a rental...Rent: 850Maintenance 10%: -85.00CapEx 10%: -85.00Vacancy 6%: -51.00Prop Management 12%: -102.00Home Insurance: -65.00Property Tax (2016-$708.66): -59.06Mortgage (57k over 30 years @4%): -272.00Monthly Cash Flow of $130.94Am I wrong in my numbers or is it people just don't like Oak Grove because the city has a bad rep and nobody wants to buy in KY?

Since it has been over 20 years and inestate, my guess would be that you are bordering on transfer to the state by escheat.  

BTW, I can tell you that you probably don't want to go to Border Patrol or Customs, from second hand conversations.

The paint had to flow with that colour so a light warm grey for all the walls but because we have one of those old ceilings in the living room with the border, we have gone for a darker colour in the same palette with that and done the end wall in the same colour.  

Buying land near a city that would provide labor and that is close to the border, and developing warehouses for industrial activity seems like a good idea.Is anyone familiar with similar projects willing to share insight and ideas?

Okay guys, this feels like a super-newbie/bordering on embarrassing question at this point.  

My wife and I will be moving to San Diego next month, we're expecting our first baby and want to be closer to our families for a bit during the first year (I'm originally from across the border in TJ and have "some" knowledge of SD).

Have you considered looking across the border in Indiana?

I am "up North" in the Notch of CT (Granby, CT - MA border), but reach out any time to chat REI.
