My experience in countries and cities that depend heavily on tourism has been excellent (Mexico, Greece, Thailand, New Orleans, Galveston). my visits to places less dependent on tourism have been more mixed.

It'll be like spy vs spy or WikiLeaks, I gotta say the prospective mayhem fascinates me in this impending battle of wits. 

So you'd be looking at high potential rental income, cheap properties or, even better a combination of the two.That prime candidates would be:Mexico and the Dominican Republic: cheap properties, mass tourism, occupancy all year long, closeness to North America, direct flights from North America, the US and increasingly Asia, strong international and domestic tourism and tourists coming from diverse locations.Southern Europe (Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece): properties aren't necessarily that cheap (some are) but you have mass tourism there as well.Then you have secondary markets like Colombia or Brazil.

So many people built in Cape Coral over the past few years, I’ve been fascinated watching this unfold and wonder how many know the history of the place.

I find real estate to be quite fascinating. 

Another fascinating feature of this particular house was that it didn't have a Siegler type oil burning heaters that I was familiar with (these usually sit in the center of the house).

I'm just a few hours away from Cleveland.I've never lived in LA, but I have lived in Greece, which has a similar climate to southern California.
