Personally I prefer homes around that median price because that's where the most demand will be not only for owner occupants but renters as well.

@Stefano Vrolijk it all depends on your credit history, whether you have an SSN/ ITIN and how much you can put down.

They don't ask for any documents just do a credit check and you fill out their application.

these investors were all chasing easy OOS cash flow:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/963/topics/1195280-expe...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/1160450-run-i...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/1137397-balti...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/1010977-12-00...if you're serious on investing in an OOS market i'd pick one, get to know it, go to it in person, and build a team, and then determine what would you need to do to get a good return in that market. 

Take into consideration that when the person you gifted the property to will have special tax considerations as well 

The first is that there's no consensus between tax professionals, and the second is that you will not like my personal interpretation.My interpretation is:Until the property is "placed in service" - everything goes into basis.Illustration.You buy a property July 1st.You finish rehab November 1st and put the property on the market.Your tenant moves in January 15th.The property was placed in service November 1st, and it does not matter that the tenant did not move in until the next year.Everything paid between July 1st and November 1st, including interest and utilities, goes into basis.

Choose a goal so ambitious it forces you to grow into the person who can achieve it.

What RichDad does not tell you is that it takes a driven personality to build a portfolio and if you have that type of personality you will not enjoy a retired state.

I haven't personally dealt with any crazy insurance premiums such as the ones people have been advertising in like Tampa, FL.

Do you have personal experience with these?
