@Rich O'Brien Hey, I hope things are picking up in your life now.Wanted to check-in and see how things are going as well.This community seems to be so helpful, I'm glad you were strong enough to post about your situation.

I know the seacoast of NH has been mentioned here but I wanted to point out a few options that could be considered.Hampton, a popular coastal town, has strong demand for multifamily units near the beach and a robust short-term rental market, especially in summer.

This deal highlights the power of well-executed renovations and a strong partnership in achieving impressive profits.

I am of the opinion that cash flow underwriting comes second, after first nailing the long term deal fundamentals, how strong is the equity upside and market generally speaking. 

Hypothetically, if I found a property with strong rental demand, the income could cover loan payments, operating expenses, and generate a modest positive cash flow.While this example involves upfront risks, the idea would be to leverage my father’s expertise as a contractor to minimize renovation costs, boost the property’s value, and create a long-term asset that appreciates over time.

It should be pretty accurate - high level data sites are not always going to be perfect, but should always be directionally correct and AirDNA has a pretty strong track record. 

Duluth has traditionally had a strong college rental market and thankfully any small decline in enrollment rates haven't been as severe as other traditional college cities, eg.

With a strong foundation, you'll be ready to invest confidently when you return to the U.S.Good luck! 

I'm not sure why not - one of the great parts about real estate investing is that you can build a team around you for aspects you aren't as strong at or simply want to delegate to someone/expert and do the others yourself - look up "Core 4" for example - where you can have an agent, lender, manager, contractor all at once for your investments and can theoretically just let them do all the interactive work

If you’re set on condos, ensure you’re targeting areas with strong rental demand and minimal HOA restrictions.Regarding an LLC, it’s great for liability protection, but it won’t necessarily give you tax benefits unless structured strategically.
