As am in the process of studying and setting up my real estate investment goals , i want to focus on the Uae and Nigeria market.What countries do you suggest that are in a similar state with those two countries in terms of acquisition pricing and rental pricing?

I will be respectful of everyone's time, but I know that if I dont ask, I'll never get the answers I need.I truly believe that my path to success will be greatly attributed to my interactions on this site.

How did you decide, when you started,  what path  you will be taking? 

Pretty simply response to that - don't invest in units that are under rent control or rent stabilization programs.I've had a ton of success investing in MFH (3 and 4 family buildings) in very specific New York City neighborhoods - Bed Stuy, Bushwick, and Ridgewood in my case.Investing in NYC is not really any different than in any other part of the country with the following exceptions:-Cost of entry is very high. 

Just my two cents and something that I've watched others do as a path to wealth building. 

I'll also add some additional commentary.In the metropolitan markets across the country we're seeing young educated professionals wanting to live near the area in which they also work.

I am Seattle-based investor/broker looking to connect with other BP members from across the country (and locally) who are like-minded real estate brokers.  

Real Estate Markets in June 2015Summer is officially here, and just like the heat waves sweeping through much of the country, the real estate market shows no sign of cooling off any time soon, according to a preliminary analysis of June data for realtor.com®.Based on data for the first three weeks of June, the median list price increased to $233,000, up 7% year over year and 2% over May.

Going out to the country to spend time with family where we pop off our own fireworks!  

After I dropped him off at college, I went for a massive rehab project across the country, relocating for a couple of years (at least).
