Nevertheless I am local now and I have that real estate desire (which never went away).

I’ve realized I need additional help—someone local, like an assistant.Here’s my idea: I was thinking of purchasing a small piece of property and putting something modest on it, like a single-wide home or a similar small structure.

You will buy a specific property, in a specific location, in a specific city subject to specific local rules and regulations.

I have tried local governments sites with little luck. 

With careful planning and local insights, Richmond can be a solid addition to your investment portfolio.Good luck!

I am also open to connecting with local professionals for coffee meetings or informational interviews.Thank you for welcoming me into this community, and I look forward to learning and growing with your support!

There are many people on this site pushing those locations that have not historically kept up with inflation.Btw I advocate all newbies start local even if their local market has not kept up with inflation.  

Just do thorough research on the local market and have a solid plan for managing the properties remotely.Good luck!

Also, if you consider the fact that his 30 year mortgage is $100-$200 less per month than what local folks pay for rent, then it's not as predatory as it may sound at first.
