I still see a couple of them when I'm in town and it is good to catch up, but when you change your context so dramatically--new town, new way of living, etc.

These are multifamily units so I just worry about a bad/dramatic tenant bothering the other people that already live there. 

I have improved it dramatically over the last year, however.

It’s the people we hardly know, who will improve our lives most dramatically.

Well, normally your mortgage payment would be subtracted as well but when you pay cash that changes things dramatically.  

Anything higher dramatically drops the rate all the way down to .25% for 100k+.

Industries that are well suited to remote working, finance and technology are examples, should be less impacted.In response to stock market volatility we see a flight to safe assets and that is why the entire US Treasury yield curve is below 1%, something that has never happened before.Some of the impacts to the real estate business model will be:-higher unemployment amongst tenants in impacted industries-lower financing costs-likely greater challenges with equity financing as investors ‘freeze’ in the face of uncertainty or are reluctant to liquidate stock holdings that have fallen dramatically in order to fund real estate investments-cap rates - downward pressure from lower interest rates (cap rates tend to be a spread over treasuries), upward pressure as debt and equity financing become less available (less buyers in the market)I think the greater concern is the oil price war given it is a fight that the US does not have direct influence over.We are at the end of an approx 12y bull market so some kind of correction is healthy long term, even if it is painful short term

HiI like you live in another country uk to be exact, I wanted to buy in the us and did so last year, I was looking at florida and other places however the place I found for high cashflow and house prices had dropped dramatically was michigan, florida sounded great and one day I may buy there but the yields arnt as good as MI also I was looking at buffalo areas and the cashflow was great but prices have never really moved, so i went with MI.I wanted to do a flip and use the profit to buy a house for free and then rent it, but it never worked due to my lack of knowledge inexperiance etc...

These are more short term goals to build up to my long term goals.Philly:Pros: cost of living is dramatically better than FloridaUmmm that's about itCons:Lived in Florida my entire life, dont know Philly neighborhoods at allNot really accustomed to weatherFlorida:Pros:Know the entire area schools, shopping districts, etc.

Not trying to be dramatic but getting your first deal is dramatic.
