You may want to look in Tennessee and West Virginia. 

I’m currently looking ion the Galveston West End, but only because I live 30 minutes north and it would be a convenient get away.

The Northeast is a huge area I’m sure costs vary widely.I’m in the West (California) and new construction is about $250-$300/sq ft here.

yes all units are occupied but on month to month, so looking to start fixing things up in early spring to get higher rents by the time summer rolls around.are you familiar with west price hill, and what are your thoughts on it?

Bill West I'm still new at this myself, but if I were in your situation (assuming of course, you've done your due diligence regarding rentals in the area, value of the home compared to comps in the area, etc.)

Also google "hard money lender west virginia".

Justin, I live on the west coast and own some single family homes.

David Hawkes of Boundary Consultants, who operates in most States in the West, recently did some work for our Company.

Lots of folks are moving here with and without jobs lined up.So here's the trend that seems pretty obvious to me: The "next hot neighborhood" is the cheap neighborhood that is adjacent to the current hot neighborhood.Neighborhoods that have recently passed the point of easy "bottom feeding", which means prices will rise fast:Villa ParkThe east side of OverlandBaker, even the West sideOld EnglewoodMost of GlobevilleChaffee ParkSunnysideWest ColfaxNote that most of Southeast Denver never had homes available for significantly less than rent.
