I have set aside 70k to be used for purchase and rehab - I'm hoping that's enough to get started without loans as I haven't had decent income last couple years ($10k last year) as I took some time off to do some traveling.

I'm a freelance software dev and and most of my net worth is in retirement accounts (Roth and SEP 401k) besides the 70k I've kept aside to jump into real estate, just took the last couple years off to do some traveling and am now getting back into grind/money making mode so to speak.

I’m new to the Halifax market and I travel too much to be able to properly manage myself so I’d like to put some upcoming projects under management.

The freedom to wake up and do what you want, eat what you want, travel where you want, spend time with your family without worrying about the financial consequences. 

I live in Los Angeles, so next I narrowed the list to 20 by factoring in the travel logistics to get there.

Boise has appreciated quicker than lower income wages; however, you don't have to travel too far to adjacent cities/counties with commutes of 30 minutes to an hour to get much less expensive homes / property. 

I recently gave up a dream job traveling the world as a snowboard instructor because my student debt was getting out of control.

I’m interested in growing my portfolio to the point where I have sufficient passive income to live a lifestyle that includes sailing, land travel, skiing and cycling all over the world.

I might need to evict my tenant for non-payment, I have never done an eviction before, I've heard that it's not hard to DIY, but unfortunately i have made travel plan where i will be out of town for few weeks. 

That’s why I decided that the only reasonable option, and perhaps the intelligent one, was to travel to Detroit.
