If you're looking to invest locally, I'd recommend focusing on the South and Southeast sections of Queens i.e.

i am trying to find something similar in the US, preferably the southeast where i live.

Chicago, southeast side.

Question for the GC's out there... in markets such as Charlotte, Nashville, New Orleans, Orlando etc (Southeast), what would most GC's quote as a ballpark estimate for total labor cost (if owner is supplying all building materials) on a 1500-1800 sf new build.

Memphis (*Dont invest in 38002,38106,38108 iffy, 38109,38114,38126,38127*) GOOD Areas **38016,38018 38117,38118,38128,38133,38134,38135,38016 38111 University is ok Memphis B areas, better tenants: These areas are:Bartlett (38134, 38133)Cordova (38018, 38016)East Memphis (38117)South East Memphis (38125)A little bit of a lower class would be: 38122, 38111, 38116, 38141, 38115

The Midwest and Southeast would be your best bet but under $100,000 is pretty challenging to find these days unless you go to really bad parts of town, which I would recommend avoiding unless you're a specialist. 

There’s no world where I get on a plane to travel to a cabin in the smoky mountains in the US southeast.

I currently have 4 SFH rentals in the southeast, 3 of which are owned free-and-clear save for property taxes and insurance. 

My wife and I are based in the Southeast Michigan and are eager to dive into real estate investing to create generational wealth and ultimately escape the rat race.A bit about us: We have a combined $16,000 in savings and approximately $150,000 in retirement funds.
