I have had wonderful renters each year, relocations to my area who need temporary housing, but this year have not had even a single inquiry (priced the same as previous years).

Murray Hill is a great area that will fit your budget and allow you to maintain occupancy. 

Hey @Benjamin Carver, so there are a lot of generalities in your statement that aren't always true.Location is cool.

Having a long-term rental while living abroad is do-able.Flipping houses while abroad, in my opinion, more difficult, especially if its your first go around with real estate.I would recommend taking a flight and staying in the area for a week and inspect the neighborhoods and make connections.You can reach out to @Elenis Camargo who has a PM company in Jacksonville.Best of luck though.

There's definitely a few things to note since you are residing in Europe, most of the investors we work with that live over there do put it in an entity but there are a few details for how that would work since you aren't necessarily local. 

I am not in your area, but I invest in your area and around the region of central California.

This should bring up all of the homes in your area with pools.

I think this will be a real "Boone" to the area.

Have invested in ABQ with first purchase in 2020 - and that was based on my knowledge as a film/TV friendly area and affordability.

@Darrell Overly  there are certainly enough mobile homes in the area around phoenix (East Mesa/Apache juction) but your issue may be the age of the homes and any limitations the park has on renting.
