Complaints are always dicey when you live or have property in a jurisdiction they scan your license plate and have visibility into your property that may negatively impact you in the future.  

If you aren't going to be living in CR full time as you try to execute the deal I do not think it is physically possible for you to obtain a loan from Scotia Bank and not worth your time to try because the rates are so high. 

If you live in Vegas and can self-manage the property, I'd likely recommend sticking to the market you know and have succeeded in.

If you have lived in it for 2 yrs I would suggest renting it for 2 - 3 years and then selling it to avoid capital gains taxes. 

I currently live in a single-family primary residence.

I live in NC they’re in Texas.

But, I'm fairly risk averse, and do live in a heavily tenant leaning area as far as regulations and court judgements. 

lived in Ocala few yrs ago.

I am planning to get into the TN real estate market as my first investment and am looking for some information.In particular: Areas to steer clear of, property management fees, typical cosmetic rehab costs, etc.My strategy is to put large down payments on 2 properties (relative to housing prices) to help pay for my living in NY while still gaining appreciation in a growing real estate market.

You live there now?
