Through research and travel, what I realized is there are many areas in the world that I would be open to living that are much cheaper than NYC or much of America. 

My assumption is, it would be slightly cheaper to get it all done at once, versus having it be two separate jobs.

Hey everyone,New investor here, i'm looking to purchase my first rental property and my main issues are :1-Like most places the market i'm in is very hot now, the numbers are not adding up very well and there's no way in hell to find something that will make 10+% cash on cash.2-The only "cheaper" better performing stuff will not be the beautiful brick and mortar, 4 or 6 plex, you know the one that was built for that purpose.

It is cheaper to have the loan in a long term residential loan and leave in your name with an umbrella policy.
