I am looking to buy my first investment property in the Metro Detroit / southeast Michigan area.

I'm a Nebraska licensed REALTOR and Mortgage Broker in Omaha.  

I just sold the first duplex for $270k profit and the second one is cash flowing $1600 per month.I'm moving to the Ducktown/Copperhill area in southeast TN.

I am a native who now lives in Nebraska which is right next to Texas with the highest property taxation ranking in the Nation. 

Gabriel Farfan I think you are asking a fair question and getting silly answers from a few local posters who want to rationalize that their isn’t a reasonable reason to invest out of San Diego.In you circumstances I would seriously consider the Southeast part of the US.

I believe they manage several thousand of doors across the Southeast (i.e. 175 unit building with a couple of on-site staff, maintenance person, etc).

Omaha Nebraska is growing as a tech hosting hub.

@Ibn Abney runs the Southeast Chicago meet-up and it would probably be worth your time to join the next meeting on 12/22 if interested in speaking with other Chicago investors for that area. 

@Maugno M.In TX and the southeast you can go ahead and subtract 5-10 years off whatever they're advertised at to arrive at the real life.Agree with @Tim Johnson. 

I have a conjecture that equity harvesting schemes are more likely to be offered in strong appreciation markets, but since I only see Bay Area and SoCal stuff and not Ohio and Nebraska stuff, I wouldn't have any way to validate or refute that hypothesis.
