As a realtor in the Boston area for the last ten years, and successful AirBnB owner up in NH, I’m ready to shift my focus to building a strong cash flowing portfolio.  

One has a little bit of a steep driveway, but not too bad.

Last summer we bough a vacation rental on Emerald Isle NC so that was a little distraction. 

The work around was a Mexican bank was the owner and lease it to the foreigner.

To give a little more detail, these houses are in 2 rows, 4 on each side, so the line starts at the public street line, does a U-turn at the end houses then back out to the street.

Until about a couple months later, i opened my eyes a little bit more and the entire operation was sketchy.

However, in areas with little appreciation, all investment capital must come from your savings.Summarizing, a city where you can achieve and sustain financial independence must have the following characteristics:Significant and sustained population growth.A pro-business environment with a metro population >1M.Rapid and sustained appreciation.If a city doesn't meet all these requirements, achieving and maintaining financial independence will be difficult.

This is based on my own experience, but I think it's similar for most MF owners. 

That being said, I had competing issues. 1) my wife and I are buying a new primary residence (much to my chagrin), and 2) in december, we bought a condo rental that is currently being renovated (a much lighter project) and that process is also a little stressful.   

I have helped many investors purchase LTRs in Little Rock,AR, Memphis,TN, and OKC.
