On this one, it drives me crazy when the entire family is wearing blue shirts and brown pants.Now, I do live in a thoroughbred driven community.

It was building, Mike, unfortunately it was likely invested in stocks, even worse if it was in the "blue chips" like financials and automakers.The company I will be receiving a pension from (which I hope to be getting in just a few years) is now $2 Bil underfunded.I think all those invested "funds," whether state, insurance, mutual, pension or whatever, that were doing so well for so long, are sucking some serious wind right now.

In my lower end blue-collar neighborhood rentals I agree with Mike.

Scroll down to bigger pockets info, its under that in blue, just above the purple Fed Ex box.

I've seent that video to petty much every contact I have from Exec's at banks to my blue collar buddies.Everyone agree's Fred has the answers!

The blue didn't go to the ground screw, it was part of the light switch.

Blue collar workers want the basic amenities (central air, dishwaher, etc.) plus lower than market rents so if you buy at the right price you can cherry pick those tenants and still cash flow.If you want to avoid tenants succesfully negiating away your profits you must have something they want that is in short supply.

As Josh said, anyone with common sense knew that the average blue collar worker can't afford to live in a $500,000 house!

Like most of us, I'm interested in solid blue-collar middle class tenants, but i'd also like to have some yuppie hipsters and section 8 folks as well (not so into ghettos, tho).Kansas City also looks interesting to me.
