It is due to many factors like limited land, desirability, foreign wealth, new industries, etc., etc.2- SF RE fell an average of 20% during the Great Recession but already surpassed the previous highs in 2013.

Miami Beach is so overpriced and hot right now through foreign money, that investors are seeking alternatives. 

Here's the deal...I have a friend in Dubai (American citizen, but foreign income), who is trying to by a Triplex here in Dallas.  

It tends to be foreigners who are willing to take on the expense and hassle of renovations, particularly for properties away from the coastline.Back to your question: Property ownership can get complicated due to titles owned by large families, or titles which weren't transferred properly (esp in the countryside).

And yes, if the property is in the Miami area, foreigners have driven up the market, and rescued the condo market, parking their money here without much concern for cash flow. 

Also with it being next to the houses for so long it's probably loaded with nails and other foreign objects which tear up blades....

Also know your foreign language whether it be Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese, Russian, etc or go to the these neighborhood chamber of commerce and ask for their referrals.

Hey Brian, in my opinion I see a lot of the buy and hold guys buying in the following areas...Jersey City, West New York, Paterson, Newark, Plainfield, ElizabethWith the exception of Hudson County where foreign money is outbidding the smaller guys, there's still plenty of cash flow opportunities in the other areas. 

Manhattan is an island and the high end is often going to foreign buyers - NY is a lot cheaper than most european financial centers  and on FX alone a euro investor has made almost 30% in the past 2 years.
