I cant help but feel that we as a society are distancing ourselves from personal interaction.

Real Estate is not so easy in the urban areas.

Generally, such large urban areas that don't fall under "flyover country" have a higher appreciation potential.

Currently living in this SFH (relocated from Bay Area, Cali) while we plan out our next investment.Had literally no investment experience or knowledge with these transactions, but after seeing what could be done with a little common sense (and good timing), I'm optimistic about what can be done with more experience and knowledge.Life goals: 1) To spend more time with my family 2) To give back to family, friends and society (philanthropy) 3) To volunteer my time to great causes 4) To invest in great ideas 5) Leave a legacy for those I loveReal Estate goals: 1) Hustle and do what it takes to meet my life goals 2) Still planning my ideal REI strategy, but it ultimately would involve having a large portfolio of cash flow positive properties to live off and continue to fund investments.

What if the area starts going downhill as urban renewal projects aren't renewed?

And once this kind of behavior goes in, the right and most humane thing to do is make it very clear to the tenant in a lasting way that this sort of behavior is not permissible from adults in our society who have signed a contract with each other, because it isn't.Yes MA is a tenant-friendly state.

I still have a hard time wrapping my head around the profit margins that I see coming, but that's what the conservative numbers clearly say.In a nutshell, the SnoCo TDR program enables the unbundling of unused residential development rights from the rural county lands that contain them and then transferring them into the urban growth areas of the western county, where land values are a lot higher.

There is just way too much liability with our litigious society.  

Seems to be a trend with many urban areas that have high taxation.  

If you’ve always lived in/near a coastal city in a more urban environment, focus on similar markets.
