@Ivan CastanonInventory, interest rate decreases, rent adjustment, market reports, and economic indicators are all important considerations when making a successful real estate investment.

And don’t worry—I’m definitely not a Russian bot or a scammer living off energy drinks and Doritos in a basement in Estonia.

However, health concerns forced me to step away from the hustle about 6 years ago.Fast forward to today, I'm officially retired and living in sunny California with a renewed sense of energy (and much better health!).

I don't think the economics support those higher prices.

Investing in multiple markets can mitigate risk and provide exposure to different economic cycles.

They take more time, energy, stress and definitely more capital. 

I hope that won't be the case as it would be an ecological and economical nightmare for the region but it's hard to see how that can be avoided, given that the root causes of the problem seem to be getting worse, not better.

Could long distance investing fit into your time and energy resources?

Multifamily properties are a fantastic way to start, especially for building a solid portfolio and generating consistent cash flow.Madison and Milwaukee are great places to look at - they have very robust rental markets and economic stability.

I've refined and updated my buy box, currently SF detached houses built since year 2000, with 3 bedrooms, 2+ baths, central air, and 2 car garages, in areas with good schools, low crime and economic growth.
