Hey guys,

I'm a foreign investor from New Zealand who just recently signed up for BiggerPockets.  I'm mostly looking in the Florida area as I'm somewhat familiar, so I'm taking this chance to reach out to other investors on here working in the US market.

Replied

Aryelle Collins make sure you check out crime stats in the area. As a Realtor in Gainesville, Phoenix apartments look like the best deal around but be careful of crime and think about who your tenants are going to be. They rent out pretty cheap in there and there are some property management companies/Realtors who will not step foot into the neighborhood due to crime. It is in a perfect location to UF so I wish a bunch of investors would just all buy them and rehab them into a nice community. Good luck!
