That, plus numbers just not making sense unless you put an insane amount of money as a down payment / buy in all cash, and other anti-landlord legislation made me look to a state like Ohio starting in 2021 and ultimately moving to Columbus to focus on building a portfolio and I've been very happy with my ROI both in cashflow and appreciation over the past few years. 

I am not anti-Texas, but a brand-new investor shouldn't be investing into a widespread down market unless they know which towns will rebound first.

Government in Brazil pretty tough right now, so I would not expect great ROI during this reign and seems anti-capitalist and anti-foreigner.

The properties are so expensive due to the land that if you need a mortgage you’re going to be cashflow negative, and the laws are so anti-landlord that I’m not sure it would be smart to buy here regardless.How are you going about finding your seller financed and subject too opportunities?
