Just out of curiosity, have you looked into the north west areas across the state border that are closer to Chicago?

It all comes down to location, if you know your local market, then you can cherry pick locations on the border or room for growth managing a rougher tenant base.

@Frank La Pira - I'm late to the party here and while I don't have much information about the Azores, I found a place where you could get some comps from: https://www.idealista.pt/en/data/produtos/avaliacao-de-imoveis @Kevin Pereira - Have you considered forming your own meetup in Azores for locals that have a shared interest?

 @Orlando De Los Santos, let me know how I can help!

If you want to avoid that tax you can look into the Delaware Statutory Trust - if functions in similar ways to the Series LLC and avoids the franchise tax because of it's status as a trust.

I don’t think it’s political to say We really need some border security in this country .

I think you may be referencing a Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) - These are fractional ownership of a much larger asset. 

I live in Delaware County PA (bordering Philadelphia).

It is a zone with almost 100% occupancy rate for rental apartments since it is very close to the border with Mexico.I have been trying to sell this lot through my realtor for one year at a price of $90,000 since similar lots have sold for $95,000.
