@Mike Morehouse get a copy of The Creature From Jekyll Island by G.

I see you live on Long Island, aren't there more affordable markets in upstate NY?

Guam is such a small island without that much development - good luck finding someone who knows about it specifically, but maybe someone who knows the overriding laws for u.s. territories in general.

Your kitchen island may as well be a dump truck blocking all access to the refrigerator.

I live in Staten Island, NY and have been looking to buy a duplex for a buy and hold.

I think a cook top in a island where people sit is a big mistake.

The money trust people (the small collection of people that controlled most of the world's wealth back during the conception of the federal reserve on jekyll island) really did a good number on us, you have to give them credit.

When there is land and the home is attached to the land so there is one title you have more options.

I've found there are real estate agents on the islands I've looked at, including Jamaica. 

My plan is to buy and hold and I am wondering what you guys think are good areas in Rhode Island for this strategy.
