I love to invest in real estate, but am not very risk diverse.

It could be something going on with culture or social norms.

If one looks at underpinnings, "as a whole" the US market should keep modestly expanding over the next several decades - we have a healthy birth rate, good influx of immigration, diversity of household, and plenty of land to build and rehabilitate.

Personally, I think larger markets growing populations have more diverse economies and less risk.

It has a great culture.  

i.e. metro area, unemployment, job diversity, housing stats, flood plain, is the immediate location in decline/stagnant/on the rise, etc.Next, since you have all POHs here, you need to get some comps on what the market lot rent is.  

Pilsen is good neighborhood that has been gentrifying the past 10 years, really hipsterish and diverse with a lot of new restaurants.

By "nice place to live" I mean: a city that's sizable enough to have cultural/sports/arts activitiesparks and proximity to nature would be a plusclimate-wise, I grew up in CT so I'm used to four seasons, but would rather not go anywhere north of thatThanks in advance!

I think you re asking the right questions, looking at the BP marketplace is a good way to begin your research and drilling down a solution that aligns with your goals.Turnkey comes in different flavors, ultimatley it is suppose to be a simple entry in RE without having to construct your own infrastructure, for good passive investment cash-flow.Main takeaways: Turnkey comes in different flavors: Simple Passive Income - the Turnkey home is direct purchase from the supplier, it is operational and managed by themStreamline construction and uniformity materials for maximum economies of scaleResearch the area, visit the space possibly, meet the teamI hope this helps you a little bit more as you try to define the type of culture you seek to align yourself with.

I think a diversity of viewpoints is a positive thing.
