Actually met an investor from here at my branch today he invested in port st lucie and San Juan but I prefer the west.

Account Closed I think you asked this same question on the Aussie site... you may want to ask the question in a different manner.Would experienced US investors recommend someone from AU investing in 30k or under properties in big mid west towns and then trust PM to handle them for them while they live 6k miles from the properties.The running costs.. bad tenants , deferred maintenance etc etc will no doubt cut your cash flow projections severely.In my humble opinion since you live half way around the world you should concentrate on a small multi family or a premier SFR in a much better location than you will get as opposed in buying very low end basically ghetto properties.James sells some nice stuff in the 50 to 60k range,, you would be safer in those price ranges...People that make it work in 30k and under houses live in the market and its a personal hands on type of investment...

They also used a U-Haul, they pulled up and the back door popped open and 3 guys started chucking concrete and other construction debris out the back.

Hi Vanna - I know we are "a ways out", but I promise its worth it.Many investors from Northern Virginia are buying in Prince George's County, MD (mainly because you can find great deals with $1,000, or more a month positive cash flow) cause they can't find good deals in Northern Virginia, and Baltimore is a little "too scary" for many new investors.

My wife and I are possibly looking at areas around Port Richmond but are definitely open to other areas.

Be sure to read about 50% rule to have a better understanding of the operating expenses related to a rental property.I am currently working with an AU company that is buying a lot of properties in the area where i invest, so if there anything I can help with, please feel free to contact me.Look forward to seeing you around on BP.Best wishes for your future success.Sharad
