My wife and I live in the west suburbs (Westchester) and I currently work in downtown Chicago in the sourcing / contract negotiations / operations function.

That's what we've been doing for the most part, meeting with our West Coast GSE and CMBS teams around the Gaslamp over beers. 

Even in the great white north I’ve seen black doors (west facing) warp with the heat absorbed into them.

I found a house in west Houston that has potential for investment opportunity.

I think the metro west has some good opportunities and southern boston are two great areas there you can get B class tenants with a lot of value still.

Mountain West Financial goes down to 35k on home loans.

Hey @Ikenna Okoli,I would recommended really ironing out what your investment criteria are and speaking to as many people who have invested in properties that you are currently looking for.Jersey can be a tough market for cash flow with taxes being so high, but the more south or west you go, the numbers can get better.

@Narmon West I use Asher Murray with Murray home Inspections.

It has high rental demand and lots of competition in the multifamily space, the West Harbor water front development will be San Pedro's Sofi Stadium. 

My focus for location is in west Houston, town specific I'm looking at Katy, Cypress, Tomball, and Spring
