IMO this still only gives me a guide when looking at a specific property.Knowing what average home prices are in an area or in the country really doesn't help me a lot on a specific property investment.Due diligence is still going to be necessary and is important enough that IMO I want to do much of it myself.

I certainly hope the investors in oil dependent parts of the country have some reserves, because I believe they are in for some tough times ahead.  

My wife and I were just on Mt Bachelor over Christmas doing some x-country skiing.  

I was wondering how to manage the cross country move and who would ever take our wonderful dog.

Had dogs all my life except when I was out of country and while you know it's part of life it's still hard.

Basically what I am trying to say is investors should not expect to buy a property with an inordinate amount of equity in it from across the country. 

I'm moving across country and relocating to the San Jose/South Bay Area in ur next month.  

There are lots of markets around the country that are going to be considered great rental markets.

Long term, who knows.In my eyes, the Chinese government is not terribly impressive at keeping money in the country.

@Daniela Bachvarovathere are properties all over the country with asbestos flooring, siding, insulation, etc... its not a problem as long as its intact.
