From that background, it was clear that the recession-resistant multifamily sector was where I wanted to invest my family's money to get good returns with low risk. 

@Jorge J Gonzalez There are probably a few location specific websites that people would search for (like Bahamasvacationrentals.com or something) But Homeaway and Airbnb are popular worldwide. 

What has happened in Bakersfield is that since the recession, we have learned that we cannot rely on the oil and agriculture sectors alone, like we had in the past, and we started to diversify into other industries. 

Given the strong healthcare and education sectors, employment opportunities remain steady, promoting steady rental demand.

We tend to work with clients worldwide. 

CA taxes residents on worldwide income but may provide a credit for taxes paid to other states.

Many accountants serve clients nationwide or even worldwide.

However, Cleveland has had significant economic diversification with development in healthcare, higher education, and technology sectors.

Being new, I am not exactly sure which sector I want to become more "specialized" in, but Buy and Hold has caught my attention more so than anything else and I would love to learn more about how others have gotten their start. 

If someone comes to me, I'll send them your way.If you need help in your search or want to verify something don't hesitate to ask.For example: I have clients worldwide and things are just as easy as I e-mail them, talking on the phone.
