Diversified in a few different states to cushion any single natural disaster (fully insure) or unforeseen acts of God..Nahh I'm playing, who am I kidding I'd invest in myself and expand my local NYC area holdings with creative real estate, with as little down in each deal as possible, into a smartly brick by brick built residential real estate empire!!!

I think citizenship in these countries to add to a portfolio elsewhere as a hedged risk would be a terrific path, and one that I plan to explore once my US portfolio turns in to an empire in the next decade. 

Just call them up and ask to speak with someone in Land Acquisitions (I was in land acq in Denver with a homebuilder, we did development and finished lot deals) have a nice brochure ready to email...

I had a phone call as well trying to establish a good blueprint for the future of my empire ... and this is coming from the angle of a brand new investor with intentions to get to work yesterday....The Platinum membership is essentially for advice, legal forms, educational media, and discounts on the other services sold/offered that one may "need" such as CPA, Tax advisors, Establishing LLCs, Asset protection strategies etc. 

I suspect a lot of single- or lower-unit count landlords keep their properties in their personal names and eventually transition as they build their empire and level of sophistication.Andy

Redfin wrote an interesting article about expensive coastal markets feeding inland less expensive markets.

You’ve really got two types of markets though , coastal and inland, so it really depends on what type of market you are in as to bad how things will be.

Maybe inland..In your area though, it could be a much higher-value crop than some of what is currently being grown.

I am buying my first property, which will also serve as my primary residence in Lander, WY.

Just testing the waters, I dont need to be there partying anyway I have an empire to build.
