There are many groups that meet across the country.

The Subto community is like an online real estate country club where everyone is trying to help each other.

Travelling with the family in Oaxaca Mexico, incredible place, one of the important culturap states in the country where indegenous costums are preserved🤗.I am currently short the DOW and as of today slightly up on that option trade, my only open one as everything else is incrediboy unpredictable and volatile.I am excited to jump into Kai's course full steam when I get back, very excired about that.

(If curious, my residential real estate investor clients from 10 years ago [you can find my 10 year old bigger pockets dot com posts :], at the time buying up 2-4 unit properties, a lot of them are now done with the 'human' tenants and want to 1031 into something that is ACTUALLY passive, so yes Starbucks comes up, thus I watch it).In my case I zoomed all the way into a specific brand (which then allows me to make very sweeping generalizations across an entire state -- but still not the entire country), I'm not suggesting you do that, but SOME of the variables need to be narrowed down, before you can gain any useful insights. 

@Li Li, Since the 1031 exchange will allow you to move into any type of real estate anywhere in the country. 

Period.Likewise with flipping houses -- I've flipped a lot of houses, and it's safe to say that if, with the knowledge you can get for free, it's tough to lose more than $10K in many parts of the country (barring some macro-economic event).

We do ground up construction of 3-4 units in the urban core of Columbus for investors all over the country. 

So bottom line they got away with it and are living in a beautiful safe clean country. 

Detroit is one of the best markets in the country.

While we saw some big jumps around covid times, it has now slowed as I expect is the same for your current area if not most of the country.
