Perhaps you could look in some of the surrounding towns of the ones you listed and could find a property at a lower price but path of progress could be moving there.

My hope is that all the money invested in Tulum will lead to significant infrastructure upgrades and investments either by the government or private industry if things get really bad.

Fredrick,  welcome to BB.Are you thinking of investing here in Philly or surrounding area?

Market: Philly- surrounding job suburbsTypical sq footage: 1000Rehab quality- class BI have been told to expect to spend about 100k for a full gut on a property that’s about 2000 sq ft.

Lots of road construction going on throughout the city to improve infrastructure.

Seek out regions that are seeing increases in infrastructure, employment, and population expansion as these factors can eventually raise property values.Pitfalls to Avoid:Overleveraging: Take care not to put too much debt on your shoulders or overextend your finances.

My husband and I are new to real estate investing and getting ready to start looking for our first opportunity in the Wichita, KS and surrounding-city areas.

With a deep breath and a steely resolve, I vowed to reclaim my dreams, no matter the cost.I took a critical look at my surroundings, recognizing the toxic influences that had veiled my path to success.

While not a huge number, it may be a too distressed market because of the perceived infrastructure issues.Thanks,Rob Williford

The areas surrounding Portland offer refuge from the city and generally speaking offer higher rents (compared to other parts of the State) and reasonable acquisition value.
