Understanding it is a difficult market (Miami) to begin a real estate investing journey considering inflated housing prices, it’s where I currently work and I’m quite passionate about the city.

Kansas City. 

Some cities have local ordinances that require interest to be paid, but even then it’s usually a low fixed amount.

Would you guys agree that in places like Pearland, Katy, League City, and Texas City the vacancy rate is still 13%?

It is literally sitting on the edge of a small city (The Dalles, OR) and if city limits EVER expand, the property will quickly double or more in value. 

As one of the larger multi-family lenders in the city, a great deal of my clients are 2-4unit buyers/owners....many of them being primary residence purchases taking the "house-hacking" angle. 

The city will fine you if your lawn grows out of hand. 

We are looking at the trip cities in Washington state.

I'm willing to buy outside the city.

I'm sure moving to a new city is overwhelming enough, much less working to launch a real estate business, too!
