once you start making money in real estate it’s addicting :) I can’t speak for some of the farther away markets, but I invest heavily in the Scranton market, myself, and a little in Florida.

So the International travel that we depend heavily on has been sporadic at best and I feel once the planes start flying, the demand and appetite for what we have will cause a huge influx again.

We are focused heavily on the Carolinas.

I would say the norm now is in the 20-30% range but is heavily dependent upon your area and services provided. 

I played sports heavily as a kid and also did martial arts the last decade.

I believe it heavily depends on the volume of property you have/rent and if you plan on expanding.

Very heavily NOW!

I am originally from Boston and there are lot of downsides of owning RE there like heavily tenant-favored laws and a somewhat high state income tax at 5%.

The absentee and pre foreclosed list I have gotten from Listsource and Propstream seem to be heavily saturated.

If your property is in an area that rents heavily to govt/military (like some areas of Hampton Roads), then this may not be as big of a factor as these jobs are likely more secure.
