Charity from Oregon / Mozambique

[Charity Hanif]

I've been following the BiggerPockets podcast for a month or so.  Bought my first rental investment in August on the Oregon Coast, a duplex near my main 'residence.'  I have been a shorter term consultant in international development, traveling internationally with every assignment and doing between 4-6 a year; but during the purchase of the duplex was in transition to a full-time overseas based W-2 job with an intention of using the 200% jump in my income (including the tax savings from being out of the country) to invest in cash flow.  So I'm looking for better returning markets than the one back at home.  Initial research is that I want small multi-family, strong property management and team that can work with someone overseas and everything must be virtual (I think I'm conservative in my expectations on cash flow return on investment given I'm a bit further away than out of state.) . I don't think I want to find the 'best' market, but a good market where I can find excellent local execution (buyers agent, property management, contractor, finance team.) Looking at Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Kansas City, Tulsa . . . but definitely just a place to start and I'm agnostic to market given I am just looking to buy decent cash flow with people that sound straightforward and who do what they say.  

I'm in Mozambique for the time being; but have every intention of moving back to the Oregon Coast at some point.  (far south coast)
