It really helps with my decision whenever I decide to move back to the states. 

The SCOTUS decision was just the first step.

Thanks one more time this one for reaching out for help, keep getting educated so you can make the best decisions for you and your family.

Don't let fear drive your decision.

The decision was specific to the CDC moratorium, which applies to areas in which COVID numbers were very high.  

Thus begins what could be the most important financial decision of my life.Between then and now, I've started reading a few books and listening to a few podcasts to get some ideas.

Meaning don’t buy something just because you like it--buy it on favorable numbers.If you are looking for a fixer for instance, it's intelligent to find a fixer where you believe rehabbing will allow you to increase rents, and it's best in an area with increasing employment--as well as many other things.If you want to approach this in a hard nosed manner (not everyone does) it's smart to make all of your buy and sell decisions based on financial measures, such as the income stream, and on the return on investment that the income stream represents--as well as many others.It's also intelligent to calculate:1.Its Projected Cash Flow2.Its Projected Appreciation3.The Loan Pay down benefit you will get from owning it.4.The Tax Shelter you will get from owning it.As well as many other things.

If the market turns before year 3, it could limit your options and force a decision which is less than optimal. 

Before you know it you'll have spent 4 months researching markets, and still not made a decision.

I read EVERY book and made good decisions and took massive action.
