Hello -My wife and I are looking to purchase property to hold for 5 years then relocate to another state.

Hi, my name is Josh with Sotheby's International Realty and Sportstar Relocation.  

While I won't delve into the process of selecting a location for income reliability, I will briefly describe why I relocated to Las Vegas to establish my investor services business.Why Invest in Las Vegas?

We have future goals, such as buy a house, have kids, relocate, etc, that are approaching quickly (within the next 5 years).

I think the Phoenix area is where I'd like to relocate and from what I'm told would be a better investment for my money.

If they are having problems, you either wait, or renegotiate price with a clearer picture that you are going to be spending time and $ to relocate tenant.

I do see growth opportunities in the TB/StP area as many of my cohort at FSU relocated to the area.

I find that the relocated renters will pay a super premium for certain qualities and amenities.  

If you find a real estate agent that is a Military Relocation Professional (MRP) they should be able to get you in touch with local lenders to get your loan pushed through.The major national lenders that give out VA loans most often have often have crappy loan officers that are way out of the loop.

We both have stable jobs and would be able relocate more than a 30-45 drive where we currently live.Scenario #1-I buy a house with a FHA loan prior to marriage.
