The greater Miami area has much more room to run, but South Beach in particular is built-out.In my opinion, you can't go wrong buying on the Beach, as demand is strong for a variety of factors (seasonal US demand, year-round European demand, and structural economical influences in South America).Let me know if you'd like to talk through it; in the meantime, good luck.Jason

Hello All,My wife and I are looking to relocate in about 5 years or so, and we'd like to move to a state that would positively affect establishing a RE buy-and-hold portfolio.I realize that landlord-tenant laws is one element that would influence our relative success, but I also imagine there are others - such as taxes on income from real estate, property/zoning laws, small business laws, etc.Since we aren't real estate investors (YET!)

Personally, I favor multifamily because you can get better cash flow and you can actually influence the price of the asset (force appreciate) much easier than you can with single family, which is far more reliant on the neighborhood and comps vs. income.Second, you are talking about the difference of leverage: all cash, vs. most cash vs. little to no cash.  

There are a lot of factors that influence real estate prices.
