I’m very familiar with the city but have been gone three years, so curious what’s happening on the ground.

Midtown and Brickell in Miami are the hot spots for the city. 

David I have not sold real estate at the street level in oh 20 years..

In Hawaii the debris was systemically removed, wrapped in plastic and disposed at a 70+ acre site the city acquired.

If a mortgage has a deed restriction, not allowing short-term rentals that is not imposed by an hoa or a city government how hard is it to get it removed?

We are looking to buy a condo in Chicago as the new rental, for a variety of reasons, but most importantly because it would rent better in the city, and it fits our desired price point (so we can allow for the rest of $$ from the sale for paying off their Oregon home and pay all, or some of the taxes on the boot). 

(Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio, Michigian).Pick a more rural town/city, they are typically very safe.

I retired 10 years in and my wife 14 years into the journey. 85 % of my portfolio is 200 year old converted city row homes that are maintenance monsters and we still have enough cash flow to retire from our W-2.

I believe I misstated the TX city earlier.

I'm looking into cities of central AR (LR, NLR, Benton/Bryant) Hot Springs area, and NW AR (Fayetteville, Rogers, Bentonville).If you don't mind me asking, what is it you like to offer new investors?
