I'm relocating to southern Oregon and I noticed RE prices are a far cry from the San Francisco bay area where I was born and raised.

Yes, good point @Michaela G.you be surprised at what you find when a Google it, just a little bit.Had a tenant who had never seen the house and wanted to sign the lease as she was relocating.

We don't have multi-family homes were we live.Option 2: Buy a smaller primary house(but more expensive per square metre) and a secondary one that we can rent - this option would probably require a small mortgage.Option 3: Relocate to another, more affordable EU country where we could temporarily purchase a property to live in and maybe come back when the market settles(if it ever does).I would say that I am conservative in terms of risk...

My biggest hiccups have been tenants (re-locating them, landlord tenant law), long wait times for permits (six month process so I've been told) and financing which has been the biggest headache.

Howdy Folks-My girlfriend and I are relocating to Dallas this coming July 2019.

My idea would be to relocate somewhere else with a similar permissive market for those who want to invest with little money down (Im a software dev from Argentina with polish citizenship).

Given the cost to relocate people this makes sense to me.  

Income Tax: An additional income tax of 1.25% and honestly my colleagues do not want to relocate to Detroit for Work.

So NYC corprorations relocating won't affect demand.

This same exercise often applies to someone relocating to another state and they are considering keeping their primary residence instead of selling it.
