We recently returned from 16 years in England (Suffolk), and were able to buy a number of rentals at a distance. 

Here are some details on the property: New England building, 3,000 square feet, built in early 1900s 4-Units: two 3BR/1B, to 1BR/1BAProperty has had recent roof and heater replacement, but has had same tenants and little interior work done in 10 years; Class C property in Class B area Total market rent today of $3300 per month; $4,100 after $80,000 in renovationI assume 10% repair cost before renovations, 5% after renovations Here's my CapEx Calculation (with Cashflow analysis on second tab).

We bought an owner occupied house near an AF base, first in England and then in Arizona. 

I am really a New England transplant.

Last time my family had anything to do with England was was when they were trying to keep them out of our yard, Scotland. 

I've been acquiring  REO properties in New England and they use lawyers.  

I just recently moved to the New England area and the houses here a very different from what I have been exposed to.

I live in London, England.

I caught a pretty in depth scam running from Rhode Island and a few other parts of the New England area last month, and that was how I got them.

Keep in mind that New England is a very dense area.
