First chart was the Atlantic in 2014, it does return on dollars.This is Wallet Hub's 2017 Analysis (Tax Foundation did one too mirrors it basically), they lower the number the more dollars received. 1 Kentucky 2 Mississippi 3 New Mexico 4 Alabama 5 West Virginia 6 South Carolina 7 Montana 8 Tennessee 9 Maine 10 Indiana 11 Arizona 12 Louisiana 13 South Dakota 14 Missouri 15 Oregon 16 Georgia 17 Idaho 18 Vermont 19 Wyoming 20 Maryland 21 Oklahoma 22 Pennsylvania 23 Alaska 24 Rhode Island 25 Florida 26 Ohio 27 Arkansas 28 North Carolina 29 Hawaii 30 Iowa 31 Wisconsin 32 North Dakota 33 Michigan 34 New York 35 Texas 36 Washington 37 Colorado 38 Virginia 39 Nebraska 40 Utah 41 New Hampshire 42 Connecticut 43 Massachusetts 44 Nevada 45 Kansas 46 California 47 Illinois 48 New Jersey 49 Minnesota 50 DelawareThis is naked theft from high income States who DEPEND on private sector dollars to subsidize States who basically are propped up by Federal Monies via grants, payments, defense, national security, and Govt Contracts.

Long term I'd love to be building multi family units and diversifying to eco tourism projects.So short term options we are considering: - holiday rentals Las Vegas / Florida / Mexico (Puerto Penasco) - long term rentals in TN, USA or within UKMy questions are: - Are my funding concerns valid and do you agree cash sale of cheaper property makes more sense or should we look to borrow and invest differently?

San jose del Cabo (los cabos), Mexico. 

The weather keeps people coming in, unlike, say, Detroit, and we have 4 hard borders, being Mexico, the Pacific, the mountains and the military base, Camp Pendleton.

Denver, Boise, Portland, Seattle, Arizona, New Mexico, etc...I don't really care about things like vehicle tax whether it is $60 or $100...that is peanuts, big deal.

I talked to a local attorney in New Mexico and he told me a lease option didn't apply to Dodd Frank.

They had to track him down in Mexico and not tell the wife where he was. 

the issue for those type of units was the renter pool was pretty much all working class a lot in construction and as you know construction stopped dead in its tracks in many markets.. so they moved  left the state went back to mexico or where ever.. 

I certainly don't find decent cap rates on small MF in Albuquerque New Mexico and surrounding areas.

But it covers how the oxy boom across the U.S. and aggressive marketing of pain killers left a ripe area of addiction across the country for a network of dealers, largely from villages in Xalisco, Nayarit in Mexico.
