I don't really care what people say - they are always going to be top-tier places, with standard ups and downs - but these are world-class and world-famous, locations that will continue to attract talent, money, and immigrants.

I was left inspired to purchase my first property to either house-hack or rent so I can build wealth as a first-generation immigrant.

Huge accomplishment for an immigrant in this crazy US real state market. 

Not to get to into the economic weeds but when you as a society encourage everyone to go to college and limit immigration suddenly you don’t have enough blue collar workers.

Rental are going to sky rocket there I would think with the new immigration plans. 

Helvetia in particular is an area settled by Swiss and German immigrants and retains much of that character.

bought a distressed triplex full of immigrant tenants in a D class neighborhood with very little understanding of the people ,the area or the property... did I mention I had literally no reserves at all in case something went wrong .

This is also my first rental property and I am an immigrant.

If you are in an area with high immigrant population it's common to have no credit or even ss number.

If you rent by the room, you could list it on a site like Padmapper.comIn the DMV area, we have a lot of immigrant workers who need to establish credit, and if you're flexible, that is a niche that needs to be served.I have one person right now in this situation, and without a lot of cash to put down or a guarantor (difficult for immigrants), they can find themselves in a tough spot.Likely, you can charge a bit of a premium if you are being flexible on credit.
