It's usually not the actual municipality creating issues except for that one that I think was near Clearwater/Tampa where they codified in zoning something anti-STR. 

I'm from San Diego as well and the Cali anti-landlord sentiments just tick me off.

I wouldn't be surprised for 5 or 6 of them to not even realize this is an anti-cabal thread and for them to land with "Columbus is booming, rents are outrageous!"

I don't think he represents small MHP investors well with his anti POH rental positions and his often derogatory and demeaning views of MHP residents.  

That, plus numbers just not making sense unless you put an insane amount of money as a down payment / buy in all cash, and other anti-landlord legislation made me look to a state like Ohio starting in 2021 and ultimately moving to Columbus to focus on building a portfolio and I've been very happy with my ROI both in cashflow and appreciation over the past few years. 

We've done buy and builds ourselves or can do BTS's but retail medicine in general has a hard time making the debt on a ground lease work, so if you are looking to do that the medical space is likely not the user for you, but if you were looking to BTS or to sell, its a solid end user to work with.

Someone already mentioned Saskatchewan, there are places in Alberta (Lethbridge, Red Deer, Medicine Hat) which are a decent size. 

I am not anti-Texas, but a brand-new investor shouldn't be investing into a widespread down market unless they know which towns will rebound first.

Government in Brazil pretty tough right now, so I would not expect great ROI during this reign and seems anti-capitalist and anti-foreigner.
