We have much more robust capabilities in MLS that typically in most areas aren't available to the general public. 

What areas do you recommend?

@Jonathan Greene I'm not sure what you mean by "most will not cash flow as an out-of-country investor" as it might suggest that the cash-flow of a given property has something to do with the nationality or residence of the owner but, in any case, you're absolutely correct that, historically, the net rental yields of LTRs in US cash-flow markets like the Mid-West have been typically higher than in the average European market, although that wouldn't be the case for many other US markets like California or New York.

Hotels and hospitality are a super interesting sector to me.

Anyone can go to any website of any big box retailer and see how unusual that is.

They could tell you the Swiss alps, New York, Australia, Japan, or my favorite, Costa Rica.

I live in New York as well, but have chosen to go out of state for my investments. 

There is no other local affordable housing in the area.

Our buildings are in high growth markets in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania. 

I invest in an A/B area with an average purchase price of $500k.
