(saigon) Previously, visited Da Nang, and a chinese island.

Cancun came way before the rest, and as such, is more established, safer no empty fields and well protected due to it being an actual island.

Rhode island and southern  Nj have opportunities but taxes are high And there is still snow.

Hey BP I am located in Rhode Island and am looking for an inspector in my area.

"According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 212.6 square miles (550.5 km²), of which, 210.3 square miles (544.6 km²) of it is land and 2.3 square miles (5.9 km²) of it (1.07%) is water.

@Leann Shirley I was looking in the Merritt Island/Rockledge area a couple years back as I had family there (since moved) and found opportunity for good rental properties, not sure if that has changed.As far as finding money, could be different there but in PBC if you find a good deal the money will come. 

I finished the Certified Renovator training today and Rhode Island has already mandated that dust wipe testing must be done (by a Lead Tech / Inspector) at the end of all projects regardless of work methods used.
