Hi Kyle Mitchell,  I'm looking for my first deal just north of you-- In West LA and the San Fernando Valley.  

This would be West of Denver, CO. 

Too bad North West Savings Bank is not in Philadelphia.

I'm only a contractor but I've definitely seen a rise in the area just west of university park, in the 75220 area.

One of the positive side effects of having a banking system dominated by 5 players with coast to coast coverage of Canada is that we have had universal, simple and affordable electronic payment methods for 20years ... tenants have had the ability to pay rent via e-mail for over a decade.While we still accept post-dated cheques and cash payments for rent, we have begun to charge extra for those methods of payment (because the bank charges us extra to process them).  

The building is about 30 minutes west of Wausau, and 50 minutes ease of Eau Claire.  

Most areas west of el casino are incorporated.

I'm also interested in a local real estate investors meet up in West LA area. 

Now In WA you do need to pay the tax's current to convey title they won't record with you taking title sub too back tax's.And if its lot and block no need for surveys etc we simply do not survey properties on the west coast like its customary to do in older parts of the US>. were like when I buy in Charleston SC we survey everything.. even in Texas in lot and block. but our plats are bullet proof and physical inspection will determine an encroachment and even if you have one who cares.. not a big issue.Now once you alienate the title the lender ( pretty much boiler plate in all debt instruments used on Trust Deeds ( which is what we use in Wa. not mortgages) the alienation clause will be violated and that is an event of default at the discretion of who ever is the current beneficiary of that instrument.

Check out College Park, East Atlanta, Decatur, West End.
