I have been investing internationally for RE companies for 10 years across Europe and the USMy take away about France is as follow:pros- relative market stability for the past 20 years- stable currency (€)cons- highest taxes to GDP in the world (capital gain taxes, transfer tax, income tax etc)- extremely complex / opaque tax system- widespread corruption around high profile transactions and construction permits - 3 months transaction close due to high regulation burden - local authorities have first look right to purchase the property you have under contract.

It’s hard to answer this question without discussing price points, as the greater Orlando area has a wide spread.

Honestly surprised this isn’t more widespread considering all the room rentals you see in the city.

Rents are going to track inflation to some extent, and unless you think we're headed into a period of much deflation, I don't see much risk that we'll see any long-term, wide-spread trends of reduced market rents.That said, there are always risks, and the biggest I see are:1.

This is going to have a wide spread impact on the economy over the next few years.In a few years there will likely be a great opportunity to buy distressed assets cheaply again.  

That shouldn't be construed to mean that I'm against energy efficiency or "green" energy, only that until/unless it becomes widespread I'm not going to be the leader in innovation on my properties.

I think the fees are as wide spread as the types of people that are on all these forums.

Throw inflation into the mix and cost of new units go up all the more, as does wide spread tax increases. 

When I changed insurance companies on my rental, my insurance agent told me that the fraud was so widespread that a lot of companies pulled out of the Valley entirely.

If this is wide spread then property prices and rental rates will decline.A metric you can use is inflation adjusted per capita income.
