Hi @Matt Trigwell , Welcome to BP and to our country:) Another good read for what you're looking at is The Book on Flipping Houses .

I don't know what you consider a good area to try to wholesale, but the good news is the prices are still low relative to other parts of the country, the rents are still decent, and we've still got great weather.

I looked at Oregon a bit (currently doing a broad overview of the country) and acreage there seemed to be a good deal more expensive then elsewhere, though that would make sense if the harvests are worth so much more. 

My husband and I are considering the mastery program through Fortune Builders.

We never saw a "spike" or "surge" 10 years ago like the rest of the country, which helped the market stay stable. 

I keep exploring rental yields in several European countries, as I've also lived in Germany in the past.

Maybe for the country as a whole that is true but jobs and people move affecting areas dramatically.

we will become just like Japan  Singapore and other countries that have to import labor.. but I suppose in a more controlled manner.. welcome in the out of country labor just document them and do keep the criminals out.. there is a seedy side to all this as you know.

I joined the Air Force at 18, spent six years enlisted, and was fortunate to acquire an amazing set of skills that allowed me to exit the military at 24 and begin making in the six figure income.

The country?
