I think Jacksonville, comparitive to the nation has good rent to purchase ratio's.However, from what I am reading, Jacksonville is going through a huge increase in supply of houses.I think you can always make a deal happen in any city but I would personally wait until the new supply is absorbed.

Cleveland gets a bad wrap nationally, but has really built itself up over the last 20-30 years. 

As a mortgage broker specializing in non-QM loans, I’ve worked extensively with foreign nationals like yourself who are looking to invest in U.S. real estate.

“Kim Lisa Taylor is a nationally recognized real estate securities attorney, speaker and author of the No. 1 Amazon best selling book “How to Legally Raise Private Money" and her newest publication, "How to Raise Capital for Real Estate Legally."

Real estate prices always go upReal estate prices have always gone up over a long enough time horizon on a national average..... but yes, on a year-over-year basis or in a specific city or town your experience may differ 

Reminds me of the late 70’s early 80’s when the National Association of Realtors declared that within the next 10 years 50% of the homes sold in the U.S. would be some form of attached housing.  

For example, the National Association of Realtors (NAR) reports that around 10% of home sales occur without being listed on the MLS.

What we are starting now is HYPER-local in extreme national variance. 

There's pluses and minuses to each choice....For Financing, the HML here in the states always drop and restart their Foreign National Programs. 

@Ken Martin I've also been looking for this, from my experience the larger national companies aren't interested in smaller properties, we are ballparking utilities based on historical info and charging a monthly fee which we will adjust annually to make sure we are recouping that cost.
