It seems as if prices in HI are pretty different in comparison to the rest of the country.

Louisville is within six hours of 60% of the country.

My primary focus is on fix and flip transactions, but I’m also open to buy and hold strategies as an alternative exit plan.From what I understand, an LLC can limit the liability of its shareholder (me) only if it is established in the same country where the property is located.

I work in property management software so I often talk to property managers and investors across the country about their strategies and experience with investing in their areas.... but for our first (few) investment properties, we'd like to stay within driving distance (currently live in Quincy, MA). 

You can die for your country in war, but cant enter a contract in Alabama. 

Markets across the country are very hot, unless it’s on off market deal or motivated seller, lowball offers are very tough in this environment,

I work with a lot of foreign folks who invest in multiple countries or live abroad.

Thankfully my tenants are all responsible for their own utilities.I should add: with the relative humidity about 20%, 68 degrees feels MUCH cooler than it does in other parts of the country. 

Louis to be a great place to invest since our real estate is so cheap compared to the rest of the country.
