Quote from @Wynn Williams: I have a friend/neighbor that wants to sell me his house below market value so he can move back into an apartment and travel.

So maybe that RE decline that's coming for those markets is already built-in here.Orlando does offer other major long-term advantages like long term demand (will Broken Bow still be a place people travel to in 10 years? 

I’m willing to travel anywhere in the tri-state area, as well as PA and CT, to support your projects.

These would be markets that my family and I would want to visit for travel, and also to check on the properties from time to time.

Quote from @Keith Mintz: I own a house that I turned into a kind of travel community hub.

Everyone already knows someone who can sell them a house in the US.With over 15 years of experience combined in international travel and Airbnb hosting, I am now a full-time consultant that helps Americans purchase property and set up their businesses abroad.Me and my partner own three apartments in Croatia that I manage myself remotely.

Things that appeal to business travelers and workers.

I posed this question to the head of Travelers personal insurance department at their HQ.

Also the small percentage of people I know who have had success with it have deep connections to the markets they invest in: they used to live there or grew up there, travel there often or have close family members living there.

I also happen to be a commercial pilot, and I love to travel.
