Of course the high crime statistics cannot be ignored in these cites, however I'm planning to buy only in the nicer/low crime neighborhoods which hopefully eliminates most of the crime risk.I was wondering if any of you could provide feedback on comparing these 3 cities.

I've done and been a part of many Chicago zoning changes...they take a very long time and a lot of upfront money...unless you are planning to add multiple units and do a full renovation, the ROI is probably not there.

Hi, anyone that has invested or is planning to invest in Dubai housing, let us chat.

We did have one, but took it down for iOS and have long-term plans to resurrect it.

That’s a helpful perspective as I plan out my projects.Thanks again for sharing your insights!

We are planning to hold it for 5 years and bought a rate cap to cover the entire hold period. 

Given that the seller is financing the deal for the 2 years and then the plan is to re-finance it with a bank, I am having difficulty producing such financial analysis.

Is it tied to changes in the market, a response to new regulations, or part of a long-term plan?

Took an extra 6 weeks than planned,  but ultimately got it done. 

If I had to leave a takeaway from this post before getting too far in it would be that whatever goals are had you have, we have these goals for a reason and typically it does not go exactly as planned but even if it doesn't go as planned, we can pick up where we left off and give it a fresh start.
