Hi there!

My name is Javier, I live in Southamerica and for many years I have always had the idea of getting into Real Estate in the United States. BP is a great resource of information but I am still overwhelmed with all the differences that real estate in the US has compared to my country.

My strategy is to buy and hold SFH or Multi-family properties. I guess for my first property a SFH is more advisable. I still must decide where do I want to invest.

I am looking for the best possible ROI and that seems to be in the Midwest, in states like Indiana or Kansas. Any input I can get on this will be appreciated. Which cities and zip codes are the best ones for investment properties? Any good turn-key providers? I will travel to see the properties and close the deal, but I will do the initial research online. I am using realtor and zillow, is there a better website to find properties?

Hope to make new friends on this forum and excuse my English, I will do my best to be understood! :-)
