My first questions are what price range are you trying to buy a property in and do you have a home already in the United States?

Hi All,Newbie here, just a quick question we are building an addition on our second home, we have a primary residence, and two rental properties. We are trying to not use our retirement funds. Are there any strategies...

First step for you is to study investing in income properties.Generally a rental property will have in the range of 4% -50% of rental income going toward expenses to maintain the investment before debt repayment (mortgage). 

You could put in a range of numbers for purchase price and closing costs, renovation expenses, and expected returns and you could very quickly get a range of projected return on investments (although an excel spreadsheet could easily do this as well), but I'm sure as technology develops we will see even more sophistication in AI's ability to assist in deal analyzing.

I will make that proposal to the person I am talking and see where it goes.

A solid property management team (or maybe multiple PMs if your portfolio is large enough) is a must for out of state investing.

Here in AZ you can look up the personal representative as they are appointed.

Thus, I'd expect something like the following for the next three years for US rents: 1) 2025 will not see much national rent growth as we continue to deliver so much supply that prices remain largely flat.

i would never tell a random person on the internet where they should live. 

The problem with averages is that a large number of high or low value properties can skew the figures either way.
