I'm looking to purchase Performing Notes & Non-Performing Notes here in South as well as Southeastern Wisconsin.

I believe you could get in a heap of trouble south of the border with that response.

Areas you might consider: South St Louis City, Tower Grove, Maplewood, Cherokee, University City, and Lafayette Square.If you'd like some more info from a "boots on the ground" investment agent PM me.

Jerryll, I don't know specifically what the laws are for historic homes in Connecticut, if thats where the property is located, but I have experience with drama from a home I took over from my dad in south Jersey.  

There are several "tricks" for dodging rules, but they're all sure to snowball into pain for you if the deal goes south.

I think a lot of people trying to over-leverage themselves starting out are in for a rude awakening when the market turns south again.

As long as it's south of the RR tracks and west of James/Stelzer, I say it's probably a good buy.

Surfers and families looking to get away from the touristy South enjoy it up in North Shore.

In general terms, the further south you want to invest the more expensive the property.

With housing and construction costs so high here, these seem like an attractive alternative, if they can actually be shipped in for a sensible cost...and our significant Asian population seems attracted to smaller, more efficient floorplans.
