Mexico is already building tent cities to house them.

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

Having a full renovated home in the inner city is like being a sitting duck.

I could not find e1031xchange as a business entity in the State of New York (https://apps.dos.ny.gov/public...).

City has to inspect if I'm not mistaken to determine if threshold is met to where it is a tear down or rehabable.

Wow, the Golden Heart City.

I know when it comes to many cities there are long permit processes and also there are specific air laws that go into each city.I would love to hear a story that goes over an experience pertaining to developing/rehabbing a property in the DC area. 

You don't need to find the best city to invest in the US.

Hey @Keagan Scott, so I don't have any insight into Gary, IN but here is a blurb -"Those looking to rent out their properties for less than 30 days (about 4 and a half weeks) will have to get a permit, pay a one-time $150 fee, and have a city business license.

I know a lot of Chicago investors are here too; but if you were in my spot would you recommend Chicago as prices are too high and I have never been to the city moving next year.
