I don't know where you're located  but many towns  here in Massachusetts can have a mixture of all of these..  

It has to be stored there for 12 months I believe and you must provide them with the location.

At minimum location.

There are many parts of Kenosha where you can go from excellent location to horrible location within a two block radius so just be careful. 

My primary focus for the Houston RE market are flips and wholesaling.I'm also interested in attending RE meetups and networking sessions if anyone knows of goods meetup dates this is something I'm highly interested in as well.I'm pretty new to the Houston Tx market and would like to know more about knowledge on the area such as up and coming neighborhoods, market trends and general location of the neighborhoods. 

Many things go into determining value such as location, condition, quality, schools, modern (open floor plans), size of lot, etc. 

Need to be more specific with the  location.

I've been locating great deals for investors/clients, then I realized it's time to do it for myself. 

You also need to take climate and geographical area into consideration. 

I would imagine eventually it all comes to the specifics of the property itself but then the search is becoming to exhaustive, so I would want to focus on couple geographical areas and be able to search there.Currently I'm in CA and looking to invest in other states.Any idea on how to get started and get focused on an area would be appreciated.Thanks in advace to all the comments.
