There is strong macroeconomics because of the growing population, job market, and the major companies moving and developing here.

Ideally, it is something we can renovate ourselves.

The government of Costa Rica has a policy to limit development and doesn't invest much in infrastructure to bring tourism.

Ideally, no more than 5% over median and no lower than 15% under median.

I personally recommend checking Columbus OH - lots of job growth, population growth, and major companies moving and developing here.

Diversifying geographically can also reduce risk and increase long-term returns.For example, there are several markets across the U.S. that are ideal for new investors because they offer affordable entry points, reliable cash flow, and strong economic fundamentals.

The sellers are mostly hedge funds selling non-performing mortgages and the buyers are ideally local investors who would be likely buyers for the REOs once the foreclosures are completed.
