And told tales of people “just like you” who are less educated, have less money, and are less smart that made big bucks.  

Too bad you're not in Milwaukee!

You'll find that most larger Midwest cities, currently have a better "bang for the buck" than anywhere else in the country.

We invest in the Milwaukee suburbs and most of these driveways are 60-70 years old, which is a good life for a concrete driveway.

These people care less about putting good tenants in a property and more about making a quick buck. 

I have done a ton of research and travel, and mild obsessing, and these are the destinations I have narrowed in on.By no means am I an expert, and everyone has different opinions and desires for what they want in a destination.For me, I prefer now non-touristy, tropical, authentic, safe(ish), and good bang for your buck.

I'm a step or two away from launching and I can't seem to find anything that shows me how to integrate into Pricelabs without going through BookingSync and paying a few hundred bucks for setup.

@Cory M.Depends what kind of banking you need, but after searching high and low state department federal credit union (with an American citizens abroad membership first, like 100 bucks) and capital one have worked best for me to avoid the nightmare you mention of trying to deal with US banks from outside the US.

For me it's specifically the Milwaukee to Chicago corridor.

Just thought I'd share my experiences at the Milwaukee county sheriff's sale today.I found a specific property I wanted in the Daily Reporter (newspaper of legal record) a few weeks ago.
