Unless you live there and are up for it, you’re going to need to find a great property manager. 

For example, I bought my house 10 years ago at auction and have rented it out and lived conservatively there is only 100,000 left on the note.

For myself, I have no car, no one who can take me to town to get my mail. 

Live and learn.  

I'm planning on purchasing a duplex down there and renting out one side while living in the other!

I'm a house hacker here locally, doing a live-in reno on one currently.

I live in Roanoke, work in Blacksburg, and invest in Christiansburg.I'm interested in Buy and Hold properties in Blacksburg and Christiansburg.

Firstly, you'd want to make sure that once they do move here they have a place to live -- their own housing and personal finances comes first.

I have also come to learn the house I was living in college for 2 years was not correctly following all of the regulations.

Construction loans are available in Mexico but its a complicated and very expensive process.As a developer, I find and buy the land, plan and obtain all the permits, recruit a general contractor, market and sell the condos to investors who either use them for part time living or list them on AirBanB.
