If I intend to make any ROI outside of my amortization, I would need to buy something for less, whether or not it is my area.  

Another thing to note, now that Account Closed has me thinking of people outside California.

You do not want to spend all of your time looking for a long shot.You might find outside investors will pay more of a premium price for inventory than a local investor.

Have you ever gotten a construction lien dismissed (outside of formal foreclosure)?

I'm a U.S. citizen/resident thinking about purchasing my first real estate unit outside of the U.S.

Location : A cool little neighborhood just outside of Downtown Greenville.

All of these properties are traditionally financed, 30 yr term, with no outside investment (except the first house with my brother).I'd buy again in Tennessee, but I think I need to improve my legal protection and lease.  

All of my income is 1099, one job is independent contracting for an outside company and one is a home based business that my wife and I run.  

What happens if your partner gets sued for something that is totally outside of your control and they come after the property?
