See how the economy shook up globally. 

High Point has been working on many projects here lately, and I will list some of them now; Volvo is working on completing a $41 Million investment in it's Global Headquarters- retaining 360 jobs, EcoLabs with a massive $93 Million investment, that will retain 125 jobs and 20 new ones.

... and by 89% in comparison to rents.Australia and Canada share the dubious prestige of having housing prices the most out of alignment with the rest of their economies.The Economist, "Global Housing Markets: Property Puzzles"CBC, Canadian Housing Prices 35% Over ValuedCBC, Analysis: Overvalued Home Prices Could Put New Owners at RiskThe only good news from the perspective of the Atlantic Provinces is we've been the anchor on Canada's housing price to family income ratio for the past decade - without our representation, the Economist would be reporting an even higher percentage of over valuation.  

I would also say that @Llewelyn Adal hits on some of the finer more nuanced points of investing in NYC real-estate; unlike many other markets, global investors look at NYC real estate as akin to a Treasury bill - a super safe place to park cash, low returns, but inflation-adjusted appreciation potential. 

Being global - we've chosen to work with eXp Realty, and have found it to be perfect for us and our lifestyle, with multiple income stream possibilities.

I will one day own rental properties in all 24 time zones of the world and create global passive income.  

All I'm looking for is the ability to show myself houses, gain access to the MLS, and submit offers.I have been researching RealMark and Global Elite Realty because they both are around $100 per month but it doesn't look like the includes access to MLS.Does anyone have experience with these brokers or have any that they recommend?

These areas offer excellent public transportation options to NYC and have a vibrant community.

Work on Wall St in Relationship Management at a Global Investment Bank.I have enjoyed trying my hand at entrepreneurship from a primitive age and have always appreciated the education those ventures have provided me through success or failure.

What it comes down to for me is that I think Baltimore is an incredibly vibrant and interesting city today.
