well sad fact is 40% of those that get married don't stay married for life.. same thing with those that buy rentals many simply tire of it.. had  not clue how tough tenants are.. get divorced have health issues want to buy their kid a home // put them through collage  bail them out of jail and pay for their criminal attorney. what have you but they never thought about the exit and they were sure when they bought them they would never sell.Its one reason so many of those that we have helped over the years that migrate to notes .. just stay the course with the notes when they get their payoff its done.. no costs.. just sign a release of mortgage and a demand statement..

Hi Everyone ,Let me first introduce myself to the community.My name in Kenrick from Aruba(the caribbean), I am a young entrepreneur on the island also involved in real estate.In this discussion I will elaborate more about types of real estate investments in Aruba & where I see opportunities.Aruba is a part of the Netherlands, but still we are autonomous, this being said the Netherlands still has some responsibilities with Aruba and other caribbean islands.Aruba has its own currency & its own government.For more info on Aruba: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ArubaReal estate in Aruba:Arubas real estate I would describe as a strong market, we have seen only growth in real estate prices this after more then 20 years after a market correction due to the closing of a refinery leading to job loss and Aruban citizens migrating to other island.Aruba in the past years have seen major condo projects & is still being invested primarly from Venezuelan investors with there condominium projects.Property land prices have been rising as supply does remain short of the demand of houses.Land:In Aruba if you want to build your own house, 2 ways you could do this either buy a property land or a government owned land leased to you.Property land being the most expensive(most valueble) & government owned land being the cheapest  with restrictions are still available depending on size average size needed is 300 sq. meters or more.Housing projects is still a big business because of supply and demand, dividing big pieces of property land and developing them into housing project is a good business with draw back in regards to getting permission from government departments, must have a concrete/paved road, infrastructure in place all expenses for the real estate investors costing time & money with could lead into a delay of a year or more.Opportunity:Opportunity to buy either a big piece or a small piece of land which could easily be divided can easily double your money in 3 to 6 months time.

I even hear random tourist comment about it...not in a negative way but surprised to see so many in LA....but yeah... there is a full blown peaceful Asian migration going on in LA, has been since the 80s really.

In MO "Gateway" would be really popular so migrating away from that may help. 

I lived in Milwaukee for a few years for college and hope to eventually migrate to investing there once home base, so to speak, is taken care of.

Looking at growth trends, migration patterns, new tax laws etc.

Amazon already research for us, they selected top 20 cities...We can filter this list further...Few of them are expensive area like LA, Toronto, DC, NY, Boston, Norther Virginia, Newark.Recent trends of migration to Sun belt filter out few more cities like Chicago, Columbus, Philly, PittsburghRemaining choice...DenverDallasAustinAtlantaNashvilleRaleighMiami

Based on Uhaul moving trends and migration patterns, it seems many are moving out of California and many are moving into Colorado in general.

Sounds like your position is that strong migration trends, limited housing supply, lots of companies in the area means house prices are unlikely to fall right?

I just read that article on Appreciation and it definitely gives a peace-of-mind in terms of what to expect given the recent migrations to Bellevue.Thanks for offering your advice and an open line to DM you — I may have some other questions for you down the road!
