No one can duplicate my ocean front location or Diamond Head view.  

Blue collars most likely want to live near transportation hubs, white collars prefer away, quiet area etc.

It is in Sunny Florida just minutes from the ocean and where everyone want to vacation, visit, or some day live.

Lauderdale, and average fees for non beachfront condos are around $300 a month.Friends of ours own a high rise condo with water views (not ocean front but close) and maintenance is $750 a month.

While it is great to be so determined to get involved with RE at such a young age, I think first and foremost you need to focus on how to preserve that settlement you are potentially getting.You have your whole life ahead of you, you may want to seek the guidence of a financial advisor to maybe allocate a portion of that money into the stock market into some dividend paying high quality blue chip stocks that over a long period of time can give you a great return on your money as well.

I don't like to be in slum lord neighborhoods, I really like blue color neighborhoods and I hate higher ends neighborhoods.I n my markets I like 4 beds two baths wi garage, purchase and rehab for around 100k to 120k and rent between 1000 and 1200.

I'm working on a house located in a blue collar mid-lower income neighborhood.

Tenants range from blue collar to no income, Sec 8.

I just got a call from him out of the blue that he needed a time sensitive WDO done and he would meet me at the house.

You will then become known as a bit of an "angel" - someone people will seek you out when the world beats them down financially - job loss, medical expenses, etc.Sometimes, the transition from blue collar to REI can seem weird.
