Mexico and the Caribbean countries are going to be huge beneficiaries nit only of the post-pandemic travel boom but also from the work from home trend, as more people look for a better lifestyle at a much lower cost with beautiful weather and beaches to boot.

For example (all data YoY)Wisconsin 6.01%West Allis: 1%Wauwatosa: 11.9%Shorewood: 13%City of Milwaukee: 11%West Allis stands out, because it has been the HOTTEST market last year, so looks like it's consolidating this year.The April lunch&learn for the RPA will be about Milwaukee rent growth and increases.

Hi everyone,I live on the East Coast of Florida, and I have to say that all long-term rental trends (LRTs) are dependent on future revenue and expense projections.

If lower rate trends continue and stay consistent, expect the news to reach sidelined buyers and an uptick in buyer activity towards the end of summer into the anticipated September rate cuts. 

Sorry to hear this.I would always say that "There is nothing wrong with any property as long as the price is right".Granted, some are not salvageable and the deal doesn't make sense even if the seller paid to me to take it lolOver the past 10 years I have witnessed many investors trying to do the same thing as you.Purchase from afar without buying turnkey and trying to do it themselves.This has been popular especially the last few years.Not many succeed unfortunately or they don't succeed in my eyes as they are into deals for much more than what they should be.There is a big trend going on where folks are made to "feel involved" with the purchase, rehab and property management process.The properties look great and off-course they do as rehabs cost $40,000 - $50,000.It doesn't sound like a lot of money for folks from CA and NY but for our local standards it is and IMO kills the cashflow and is unnecessary overcapitalization.Each to their own I guess.Just had a call the other week with a fellow from CA that bought a few turd properties from a local scam artist and is flying to town to try and rehab them himself.Another fella I managed to save even tho he lost his deposit of $1,000 as the seller (Another known scam artist) made him commit to the deal without allowing an inspection or even a walkthrough...If that isn't a red flag then I don't know what is 🤷‍♂️Hat's off to you for flying into to town to see the property for yourself.Wishing you much success
