@Matthew Irish-JonesHey,I’m new to the business I’ve you probably read in the thread, looking for some sort of factor to help me decide with my first investment what would be best route to go as far as wether to start with a quick flip or start off with a rental property.

@Matthew Irish-JonesThank you for contributing to this post and for giving me some insights.

Quote from @Matthew Irish-Jones: @Elton JohnHow did you get the 10k estimate for cosmetic upgrades?

But to be honest, I am not looking to become a millionaire, I am just looking to add 3k USD to my residual income with US realty and then my canadian stuff will do the rest and I can retire at 40 ;)Also looking at Irish land too to get EU citizenship ;) but that's another game.

Try not to take it personally - you have to think and to paraphrase all the old mobster movies - "it's business, not personal."

It's not some mobster with a collection agent named Guido. 

@Matthew Irish-JonesDoes one town matter in terms of higher rents?
