You are right that property taxes are higher and no state income tax has no bearing on us out of state investors.

He fixed that with some kind of bearing lube, but found several other items and had to get parts, had to redo the exhaust from the first guy and in all, I might have saved $300-500 over the cost of new High Effic.

There is some desert out there and the ads often feature photos of scenic beauty that isn't even in the area.

Most are offering incentives.We always had 2-3 apartment buildings in the area that were featured in the news on a regular basis for crime and drugs, But now, I am seeing the nicer apartment buildings on the news complete with flashing police sirens and crime scene tape.

I know real estate brokers hate to hear this, but my experience in 30 years of real estate investing bears this out.

Buy something affordable that has the features you like in an area you like.

The only people that see a pool as a feature are people looking for a house with a pool, and they are few.
