HUGE ski country/ Air B&B/ vaca rental opportunity. the daughter, whom i spoke to, said that they owe the majority of the mortgage...however its an FHA loan.

Think, the USDA brining armed feds to shut down Amish farmers for selling their unpasteurized milk, or the FDA allowing harmful chemical additives in our food that are banned in hundreds of other countries.

As is price point.. this will give you a better long term outcome.if you buy way under median your getting into renter dominated neighborhoods and schools for sure will be bottom ranked.. instead of going East have you considered Vegas.. lowest prop tax's basically in the country. no big weather issues  desert landscape super simple to take care of.. and Stucco homes with tile roofs no big thunder and wind storms to ruin roofs etc etc.. you can buy nice rental house there is a solid B location for about 300k. just worth checking out if you never have..

This is a pretty similar problem that is happening across cities in the entire country.

Is it smart to have your job, all your real estate, stocks and everything in one single country and at the whim of a single government?

I also had to pay taxes in both countries.

Although appraisers around the country tend to cover their butt and be conservative, we find little issue with these Memphis appraisals.However, @Jay Hinrichs  makes a very good point.  

Laws around the country may be different.

Borrowing costs should come down as the economy is slowing down now due to the high fed funds rate (5.33%) particularly in the multifamily space which has an enormous supply coming online across the country this year and next year.

It should be equal to what is paid at hotels and is seemingly in line with what I have seen across the country
