Cheaper and easier.

Agreeing with @Erwin Groenendijk that the price of the average property in Spain is much cheaper than in Boston + as low as the average LTR cash flow might be in Spain, it's probably even lower in Boston.This being said, you create wealth with capital appreciation, not cash flow.

In other words, it may be cheaper to drop your rate $100 and keep the current renter in place.Sit down with paper and consider the costs of each decision.

Most in CA that are just starting out often  look to cheaper markets.

It's cheaper to be strict upfront with slightly longer vacancy than have unpaid rent in the future. 

A like-for-like property in Mexico is much generally cheaper than in the US but properties in great locations aren't that cheap that you can pay cash for 4 properties with $400k (unless they're minuscule) but you could use financing if you have access to it.8.

If my cash flow was not strong enough to weather them moving, I'd eat the tax increase while considering a 1031 or an outright taxable sale, both of which I've done. 

They can do it for more money than people online, just make sure that the people online if you go the cheaper route are going to get you and your contractor what you need! 

He has actually bought properties for the same if not cheaper valuation in this cycle.
