Like any other area, Atlantic City has an amazing opportunity for growth; however, you must know the neighborhoods and narrow down what type of property suits your needs.

Find out if it goes over the property line, or has made a mowing/maintenance problem for the narrow strip they left (which if your neighbor winds up maintaining long enough, he can claim). 

I’m from the Bay Area and it’s pricey here so I want to narrow down my buy box but not knowing my price range is making it tricky to analyze deals.

I think it show's there's more than one right way to do things.as to which is more profitable, that's hard to narrow down, because you have the weigh the opportunity cost self management versus the time you might spend growing your business.

@Mohan IndugulaCalifornia and Florida are two huge states so you'll definitely have to narrow down your target areas some to get a specific comparison/answer.  

~Single family townhome-style property (tall & narrow), 2015 build, with a very small lot (if you know the Shady Acres area of Houston, TX - practically nothing outside the boundaries of the structure itself, but we do have a nice-sized patio) in a desirable A-class neighborhood with loads of new construction in a similar style.

Trying to think through the business model for tax lien buying, and as is my cynical  nature, I see the opportunity as narrow and seek feedback from perhaps those less jaded.  

Of course, with $100k, your search will be somewhat narrowed but it is still very possible. 

When you know the specific skills needed then use that to help narrow your choice.

(or am I mixing that up with tax lien) Also too, Texas is huge so I know I’d need to narrow down specific areas.
