I know many out of country investors and landlords who have chosen to invest in the US market.

Meeting locations are chosen for various reasons, but a group doesn't automatically focus on that specific location. 

I've chosen one specific domain to play within (MF apts) and 2 main markets, but can't seem to bridge the gaps to close a sale.

You can also have one person be chosen to manage the project and then that person holds all the funds in the account. 

I have chosen a few markets around the USA to begin with including Des Moines, Salt Lake City, and the beautiful Pacific Northwest (I know large area, refining based on potential relocation) to start with but trying not to limit myself at this point.

Or is there a reason why you have chosen AZ?

I have chosen specific neighbourhoods in my city where im interested to invest in.Is this ok or should i try and be more specific?​

Other factors that will impact are the Replacement cost of the building, the deductible chosen, Liabiltiy limits used, construction of building, age of building, etc.  

@Matt Swearingen The reason the notice and eviction route is not chosen by the vast majority of landlords when dealing with late payments is due primarily to the fear that they may actually end up having to evict.

On a different note, how did you choose the particular towns in Northeast Ohio that you've chosen to invest in?
