We have been on tours and some of them are okay, but they usually rush you through the attractions and there a great many things you miss along the way.

Also cultural and country-wise it is a very attractive option.The point though is that in the bigger cities the rental yield is not that high because the rents are not linearly increasing with the prices of properties. 3-7% is where people are already satisfied with.

It has very solid fundamentals and is the main attraction for foreign investors and immigrants at the same time.

As another post mentioned above, posting a vacant property online or a sign on the front yard can attract thieves.  

I can't afford the deal without him being a primary resident.. there's got to be a good structure that's attractive for us both!

Our rental attracted the high-end business professional on corporate travel or families willing to spend a little more to stay in a nice place in a nice location. 

(https://www.housingwire.com/ar...) were the big shops that were too busy building up massive pools and throwing money at scaling to notice the rapid transformation of the market and vertical rates - the smaller nimble shops with smaller balance sheets that were constantly in the secondary market were able to pivot much quicker.For the same reason that Zillow, OpenDoor failed, at the end of the day residential housing is still an local market and an "exception-based" business, lots of factors make it easier for leaner shops to compete.I also think when it comes to attracting talent, its hard to get people who are used to agency (QM) loans to expand and do DSCR - its a lot more work! 

This is an attractive investment profile for investors, as compared to fixed income, and a diversifier vs. equities.

Don't overlook the importance of Search Engine Optimisation (SEO), as this can make or break your business if you're dependent on attracting customers to your site."

Other stocks are looking attractive, too.
