SF is a very unique market, and actually may be a great time to buy right now, especially if they can successfully turn the city around. 

Could happen but very rare. #4 See everything you plan to buy in person. 

So depending on what your investment goals are and what type of properties (Class A through C/D) and where in the city you want to buy, that can directly impact the level of stability one can find within the market here. 

I’m planning to start by buying in Buffalo to gain experience and learn the ropes.

However, co-living allows you to acquire properties with as little as 0%-5% down, drastically reducing the amount of cash required.Instead of needing $100K+ to buy a rental, a co-living strategy lets you start with a fraction of the cost while achieving higher returns.3.

- The market is in a little bit of a lull right now (buyers market), its a great time to buy, but slower time to sell (my primary business is flipping houses) I can supplement my flipping business by providing project management services/consulting, helping investors find discounted properties, etc. etc.

We all invest in real estate in order to make money, and keep in mind that someone who can only afford to live in a mobile home and seller-finance to buy the land is probably tight on funds. 

This only really matters if you plan to buy a house again soon...within 9-12 months4.

:) Well, if the planes take off and land from east to west, buying a home that is north or south is not directly in the flight path. 

In many countries foreign investors buying rentals can't get loans or loans at all.
