The first international route from Houston to our local airport opens in April of next year, so we're going to heavily target US buyers.

Buyer pool is just too small. 

Also how do folks feel about Real Estate buyers who aren't investing for maximum Cash-flow, but instead investing for long-term equity, appreciation, and eventual cash-flow?

its creating some friction with brokers that are representing buyers  Listing agents no change.the commish is becoming a negotiation just like a home inspection..

Quote from @Elliot Angus: I recently came across an interesting opportunity and thought I’d share the details.Mortgage Details:Outstanding Balance: $70,000Fixed Interest Rate: 3.75%Monthly Payment (PITI): $950Loan Maturity: May 2045The property’s current market value is around $225,000, leaving significant equity on the table.Tenant-Buyer Situation:The property is currently occupied by Rent to Own tenants.

In my experience these brand new rentals don't get the rents anticipated by out-of-state buyers.

Buyers may be backing out for failure to obtain financing for the deal.

IE the buyer themselves buys low end tough to manage assets because they look great on paper.

IN Oregon. we have very few derelict houses or building very few.the one area north of downtown ( the old warehouse district) most all bigger cities have those areas.. the City put a 10 year tax abatement for repurposing the buildings to residential so buyers did not owe property tax for 10 years. 

Some of these will have buyer premiums over the top of your sales price and almost all will have limited inspections.
