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...
