The make a list of where you closest friends and family live now (the ones you like).

However,starting in October, I will be managing my closest property, 300 miles away. 

So, start with YOUR cap rate, and start searching for properties that come the closest to that.

I live in NY, about 25 miles north of Manhattan and the closest area in NJ to me is Bergen County. 

My original plan was to flip it for a quick profit but my project manager (he is also one of my closest friends) thinks that I should rent it out for a year or so and let the tenant pay down the mortgage while the condo also appreciates in value.

Probably difficult to even find this, but the California equity share probably gets you closest.  

With this will be the dismantling of the ubiquitous U.S. presence throughout the world in the form of 1) global military bases, 2) satellite regimes propped up with 'foreign aid,' and 3) wars and other covert activities to promote U.S. interests.What concerns me with the dismantling of the U.S. empire is that other interests (most particularly our largest creditor) will fill the void through military escalation, leapfrogging the U.S. in naval capabilities, and will begin to exert its muscle just as the U.S. recedes.

Felt like I had no purpose and was not giving back value to the world.People typically that have money will get involved in causes and charities to stay busy.My Uncle invented the cleaner Goof Off decades ago.He has been very wealthy for awhile.When he sold off the company and he took a few years off but after that he was sitting at home bored and started inventing hand cleaners and other stuff again.If I had that kind of money personally I like CTL's (credit tenant loans) that are triple net.CVS,Walgreens,Rite Aid's,etc.

Closest REIA is like 1-2 hours away.

I like to call myself an asset manager, but banker was the closest thing in the list when doing my profile on BP
