Invested 1000$ in myself for flights, stay, car rental to go and visit the city.

Most private investors limit the leverage to 65% on such loans due to high flight risk of default since you're not a US personCheapest way is potentially going through a local bank/credit union that won't dock any points for you not being a US person.

However, it would take me a 12 hour flight to reach any given destination in America.As there are many resources on out of state investing, I was wondering: do all the same rules apply if one is living outside the country? 

I take a cheap flight to Chicago ($200) and drive to southern Michigan once a month to buy cheap houses.

The buy and sell pick a number (5000) as the max either would get.In my current house, I sued for improper disclosure disclosure about Moffett Federal Airfield This became an issue post 9/11 as there were tons of military flights  in and out.

We bought one in England, and saved up for a new kitchen and sound proof windows (we were near the flight line).

I signed up a few years ago, barely put any effort into it, yet I've purchased almost 20 flights for free and still have almost 700,000 points saved up.

I was in Thailand for the first time last month. charming place  if it was not a 20 hour flight I would go there a few times a year

its hard to compare west coast to mid west rust belt economies are different we have a shortage of living units.. in Cleveland you have no shortage you have flight to the suburbs leaving existing SFRs with very small values since the only ones buying them by and large are investors and the income of the work force renter will dictate rent.  

Skyrockets in flight!
