I live in Long Long Island NY.

Hi Lisa,I am very interested in buying investment properties in Staten Island.

Looking to start with Orange Park, Fleming Island and Green Cove Springs area. 

Simons Island, GA,  I have a rental townhome in Alexandria, VA owing only 93K.

I would like your thoughts on rental property CoC ROI in central Nebraska (Hastings, Grand Island, Kearney) vs other areas in the US.

What exactly is land acquisition as you are using it in this context, Mantissa....beyond "locating land and acquiring it", that is. :-)Thanks in advance.

http://www.privateislandsonline.com You can buy/sell/rent islands there and they also have some good articles about developing islands and the profit potential.Belize has a good amount of islands for under $500kHow is your friend doing that bought the seven islands?

We have a comfortable life here, and when/if we move back to the states, We'd like to maintain it.Hi Tim-Yes, they're building 2 casinos here, a Sands with convention center on the main island just south of the central business district on reclaimed land, and another spearheaded by local Genting Goup on smaller Sentosa Island (sort of a resort/park/ golf development island linked by bridge and monorail) which will include a theme park.Funny thing is, Singapore has resisted having casinos for decades, afraid of turning into another vice-ridden Macao.

This is relatively low compared to other islands with a similar level of development where properties can sell for $500 - $750 per square foot.The good news for investors and absentee owners is that the rental income here is relatively high compared to the purchase costs of the property, especially for properties with great views and/or easy access to the beach, which can generate anywhere between US $2500 and US$6000 per month ( depending on the size of the property).
