Don't get me wrong I am not against unions I'm from MI I've worked temp jobs in plants right out of high school.

While they have suffered short term hits in depreciation, they still bought correctly for that particular market, have not sold in the panic, and are sticking with a conservative business plan.

I have just read today in the newspaper that there was a drug raid on a house in the same neighborhood (2 blocks away) from a duplex I own. 66 marijuana plants and more than a kilogram of cocaine and crack.When I bought this place I checked with police reports regarding the neighborhood and it was not a high crime area, but "on the other side of the railroad tracks" 1/2 mile away is a high crime area.Up until this point I have bought in middle and upper middle class neighborhoods, so this is bit shocking to me.I want to be able to tell future tenants that it is a safe neighborhood, but now knowing this, I dunno.I am kinda of freaking out a little bit.

Frustrating but I was willing to suffer for the savings.When my company started to expand, I looked into Vonage's business lines and, guess what?

I am affraid of renting my house because I am not sure how I will be affected when it comes down to tax season.My givens:Married$185k combined annual incomeBought current house in December 2011for $302k in La Puente, Ca 917443br, 2ba, pool 1363sqft house and 6,000sqft property According to Redfin: Land taxable value is $137k and total house value 309k(house is worth 420k-430k at least after recent comp houses sold)Property taxes paid in 2014 was $3,795Refinanced March 2015 and Payment is now $1,637 (includes insurance and taxes) at 3.75%, 30yr loanCurrent house estimated to be around 420-430k if I sell based on recently sold houses, owe 265k on loan to date.Area comps show a average rent of $2,100Reoccurring/maintenance cost: Pool is $90, Grass/plants is $100, Utilities is $340My questions:Should I just sell the home now and collect $134k......(425k sell house x 6% agent fees) - 265k (Current balance)= $134k, not sure if it will not be worth it if I sell house in 10yrs assuming house value remains about same?

A title plant or an insured closing agent isn't the best place for financial advice, they will send money anywhere they are instructed, they aren't on the hook for what goes on outside of closing.......except during a routine examination some examiner may see it.

Most on BP suffer from ED---educational deficiency.

So there is a reoccurring predicament coming up in one of the companies I work with - thought it might be wise to reach out here -I work with brokers who sale commercial real estate (many times along with all the plants, products, and licenses) for marijuana.  

Look for a job at a RE Law office or title plant, that could be a very good part time gig while you get ready for school. 

Does anyone here think that Hanover is a good place to invest in blue collar communities surrounding the manufacturing plants, etc?
