So cities like Worcester or Lowell seem to fit the bill, but I'm very much open to new ideas and suggestions.Anyways, as I said before, I would love to meet/chat with any local investors, real estate agents, contractors, etc.

The lawn got out of control and because the property owner information hadn't been updated in the city's database yet, San Jose sent me a letter after someone complained (forwarded to me by the Post Office).The letter said I had so many days to remedy the situation and the city would send out an inspector to check.

Inner city has the most upside given the prices & demand is driven by tenants not owners.

You're in a big enough city to find the right guy.A lot of these textured ceilings were put to keep the finishing on a ceiling to a minimum.

For example, a city tax? 

Like usual, I called what I thought was a bluff and they accepted the offer before it expired that day.Comps for four unit houses are hard to find for this city, but from what I found on Zillow doing comps it was worth 526K.

I converted my primary to a rental and so did my wife when we moved to a new city.

We live in the city of Chicago and would like to find someone close.Thanks!

As far as the limited supply, I think eventually cities will come back around to allowing MH or tiny home type communities because the demand is growing already and the shortage of affordable/starter housing will need to be addressed at some point in the near future.

Detroit has one of the highest crime rate in US (less safe than 98% of US cities ) .Myself live in Canada, but have visit Michigan many times, for me I am looking at Warren as potential city, but still need input from others as I am also trying to decide which city is the best for investment .
