I work with an inestor who will negotiate the short sale with the lender and then can buy the short sale from the lender.He, then, turns around and sells the home back to the homeowner at a discounted price, thus being the bank for that homeowner.He has told me that he can do these anywhere in the country.

@Michael M. watch which advice you take on this subject because there is some variation around the country based on state, city, county, etc.

Im 27yo and i moved from other country 3 years ago to the USA , my credit score is 700+ but its not long enough , its about 10months old.

@Gabriel SotoI just did this today and got lists of them, it’s through country treasurers office.

I have several of them installed around the country. 

I mean...I just get this feeling that a property in a city that is safer than only 4% of the cities in the entire country could definitely fall in the D category of "war zone."

This would be on the other side of the country for me.I’d like to be in control of the clerical work, like bookings and ads but I need a management company to provide 24/7 guest services, emergency maintenance, etc. but I’ve been doing a lot of research and it seems like most of the management companies like to do everything instead of just the things I’m searching for.

Get your credit score up and get a hold of 50k.Then you need to set up in a market where 50k can play ball with some comfort, that's in the middle of the country and not the coast lines as much.

I think you can have both scale and diversity in portions which achieve your overall goals.If you are a remote investor, and using property management, there will be a threshold of scale - number of units you hold in a single market - which will garner you a better rate/unit for property management costs.On the macro-economic level, distribution of holdings in different regions (states/provinces, countries) with diverse economic drivers and a low-level of coupling will help smooth the bumps of fluctuation in local economies.So perhaps it is not a question of Dallas or Indianapolis, but one of how much Dallas and Indianapolis and do your acquire them in parallel or sequentially.
