After my rehabs they all rented out approx. 1-2weeks(except1) - market rentsThese were located off Bingham rd, in southgate, and off Graham/Strickland rd. 

I am an Investor and Agent also located in Yonkers. 

Hey,I'm looking to invest in real estate for passive rental/potential flipping but I'm not located within the US.

I am located in a small town just outside of Fort Wayne, IN.

I have been renting out a single family home in Connecticut for a year now and my tenants want to renew there lease for another year and they've told me they plan to buy a house in the town my home is located at the end of the next year lease.

- you typically say "I'm a real estate investor" and then continue to qualify that with how you locate and acquire / syndicate multifamily properties with outside investor money. 

While to be Boston proper you are looking at some areas that are $1000/square feet you can find a lot of value in some metro areas such as Roslindale - 2 family with 5/6 beds can go for 5-600k in fair to good condition and that’s a nice middle ground location.

@Roger Roth, Because 1031 is a federal statute the location of your intermediary is not as important as their performance, responsiveness, and breadth of experience. 

Another option is to speak to the city and see what kind of support they can offer.Where is this community located and is there potential job growth and a sustainable economy in the area?

So more important than location is going to be the demonstrated experience of your QI.
