In East TN, it still works.

Real auctions are so NOT for new investors or most investors or any outside the window looking in. wow that one I have not heard but I am not keen on East coast foreclosures I like Ohio OK and IN  but PA NJ NC  those states are just way to complicated for me..

I'll quantify, suburbs of Rochester, NY in Monroe county east of the Genessee river, see 5-10+% appreciation for the next 4 years as measured Zillow home price index.When talking on historically the US was a-ok on kick-the-can economics, REMEMBER, 60 of the last 100 years Europe and Asia were in some state of burning rubble.

Turnkey properties are popular in Old North, Merion Village, Southern Orchards, Old Towne East, Driving Park, North Linden, North Hilltop, Franklinton, Reynoldsburg, and Hungarian Village.For BRRRR and Fix & Flip, consider Eastmoor, Hilltop, Whitehall, and Linden.

I travel a lot to all my clients back east so I do get out to fine dining on those trips..

They are very big on east coast but started to expand into the west coast.

I've been helping folks navigate this market for the past 20 years, and I can tell you, combining a personal residence with rental income is a game changer.Just last year, my friend Dom helped a new investor find a charming duplex in East Austin.

It's in East Humboldt Park, fully rented with good cash flow.

I just finished their taxes with their CPA and I can say from first hand knowledge that real estate is the most effective way for immigrants to obtain the American dream.My parents immigrated to California in their 20's from Asia with no money, and could not speak English.
