In my area most buyers pay cash over pay for a duplex for 1M, They gamble on potential rental increase and appreciation.

I love Las Vegas, not even for the gambling but it just offer so. much.

Convention visitors is down 3% (-100k people)Vacation visitors is down 1% (-180k people)Gambling profits up 4.5% (+ $100 million to $3.3billion)The average room rate is actually up (barely) although the revpar is down barely. 

I used to live in the Uk (spent some time in the lovely Bristol as well), I am actually in the USA in Atlanta now. 

I'm from Denmark, but live in Ireland and the UK since I was 18 and I currently own property in the UK & the Philippines that I'm renting out. 

I think Toscano has been on the market for multiple years and it is unfortunate if they still have "new" homes for sale.San Luis is a great place to live, but you will be taking a sizable gamble if you are looking for future appreciation in the near term.  

@Andrew Brown,That's a financial decision you'll have to make for yourself.Depending on appreciation is speculation (read: gambling), not "investing".

All the education I have found so far are for UK / US markets.

The gamble with a rehab is that you will sell it for a certain price when you complete the work.

Hi,I am from the UK but have recently moved to the US to invest in Real Estate.The first thing you need to do is set up a LLC (Limited Liability Company, similar to LTD in the UK).
