My goals are all based around being consistent. 

Based off of the podcasts I am listening to and other property management professionals that I network with, that has been the experience of portfolios across the states. 

In Phoenix, where I’m based, or in markets like San Antonio, the best realtors do more than just list properties.. they go “driving for dollars” to find oppurtunity, leverage their local networks (probate attorneys, CPAs, divorce attorneys) and carefully analyze each property’s cash flow.

If you're open to looking at some resources here's what I would recommend you start with based on what you've said:1.

Foreign National programs sometimes require that you have US credit and most will want you to have a US-based bank account.

FWIW, I'm going to base this off a 1,500 SF single family new build, but I'll predict the build cost will be a little over $200/SF.

Much of it based on defense spending that will likely increase as assets are moved from Colorado to Alabama to include the Space Command HQ.

Tom, Based on what you've provided, if the property was held over one year, you'd be subject to the long term capital gains rates and any depreciation that you took on the property in the past would have to be "recaptured" (Added to your income) at the short term tax rates (but it will not exceed 25%). 

Hi @Robert Spiegel, My answer to this would truly be based on your Lease Agreement. 1.

Hey jason, a lot of investors based in markets like California and New York are choosing to purchase their investments OOS in the Midwest because of the affordability and numbers making more sense.
