That is a sub-optimal decision based on your age, income (my assumption based off your age), investment time horizon and needs (again, my assumption). 

Hard to say what would work.Each individual has a different risk tolerance, amount of being passive versus active, needs cash flow today versus more equity growth on the back end, certain time horizon to stay in the investment,etc.Only the individual can decide what is most important and the best fit through research and self discovery.For me as a syndicator and sponsor I like deals where there is big equity gain on the back end for my investors and myself.

at the moment I’m considering Dubai (where I currently live) and Barcelona (where I’m most likely going to end up next year).I’m focusing on these two markets as I feel these are the ones I know best.However I suspect I might be missing out on better opportunities.And I hope that BP will widen my horizons ;)Originally posted by @Nick Rutkowski:Hey Daniel,Welcome to BP, what States have you considered investing in?

The numbers will prove if cost effective based on your time horizons.

although horizonal  you dont quite have the water quality issues we have but you have massive sized streets..

You will be able to use the background you have to expand your horizons and have help along the way.

I think the average person can easily build up a replacement income over a longer time horizon.

I am currently primarily a Bettendorf investor but am expanding my horizons to include Davenport.

Since you are taking a long-term planning horizon you might as well begin to chat with contractors.

any area can be profitable as long as you pay the right price, understand your risks, and are prepared for the time horizon.
