Low taxes, low crime, low homelessness, friendly people, all 4 seasons, etc!

Maybe I'm no longer a low risk bond investor, maybe I'm parking my money in $VOO instead, CRE REITs, or perhaps higher risk higher return bonds. 

Hi @Akintunde AboabaIf you want to reduce your risk of difficult tenants, choose a province with fair landlord-tenant laws, like Alberta, and not BC.

Then do a thorough research on tenant applicants (note: leaving this to a PM may be hazardous to your financial health) and choose the one that is most “stable” with the best potential for long term tenancy.This advice is contrary to maximization of rental income, but IMO will reduce expenses of tenant turnover, property damage, property management fees so much that the difference in bottom line income will be quite small.  

With down payments as low as 5-10%, plus low property taxes compared to the U.S., investing in German real estate is more accessible than you might think.If you’ve ever thought about owning property overseas but felt intimidated, stay tuned.

I have a vision of building and developing mobile home communities in upstate NY that are vertically integrated to allow future members to choose from a catalog of homes, have them installed, provide them with financing options, and make the process of selecting, buying, and living in the community very smooth.Since this is my first time doing this, I would love to chat with an experienced mobile home developer on the following items:Zoning - navigating the zoning process to allow the community to be allowedStart up costs - I am a finance person who would love to better understand start up costs - septic / electrical / water / pads / roads / etcOn Going Maint Costs - in building our business case, I want to build a conservative financial model to capture all re-occurring expenses - utilities, landscaping, capex, septic clean out, etc.I know this is a lot, but would greatly appreciate talking to someone who is an expert in this asset class!

When choosing tenants (I am in California), it's important to avoid even the appearance of discrimination, especially during in-person meetings.

Not too bad when the inventory is low, the number of sales is low (like a 30 year low), interest rates are high and prices are high. 

I would advise finding an investor friendly realtor when you choose a market.

I would encourage you to read this beginners guide from BiggerPockets, it's a good bit of information so pick and choose what you want to read or read it all.
