I worked for 3 years in Alabama.
I purchased a Single Family House with cash, I lived there for 1.5 years.
I come back to my home country (Italy) in 2011 then I rented out the house.
Now I want to buy another rental property.
I believe this forum is a good point to start with.

Hi Andrea Poletti,

That's a good start, but some of the data may be dated. Also, I wouldn't mix business with personal -- just because you like to visit Orlando doesn't mean it's the best investment decision. Also, you'll likely have annual leases, so that wouldn't give you a place to stay if you visit Orlando.

Download my "2013 Housing Market Forecast" for some additional information in your research. There are many other markets with strong economics and investment opportunities.

Continued success!
