I read Big ***** Ahead, and when I look at the demographic trends, it all moves toward the south--Florida, Texas, the Southeast and Southwest. 

While I live about an hour southwest of Asheville in a small town we occassionally will travel to work projects in the "big city".  

Budgeting is easier when you have money.Other tidbidts:- Cars are paid off - we buy durable cars and have had them since 2010 and 2013 respectively - My mortgage is less than 10% of my takehome - No loans, paid degrees via cash (Worked while in school) - Use travel points (Southwest Companion Pass) - Eat at home (good, fresh food) - Live off of one spouse's income

We have first rate medical care and are taking a lot of precautions, such as canceling South by Southwest (the big gathering in Austin) and etc...Just my 2 cents.I started a thread on what U would do as a landlord if your perfectly good tenant all of a sudden gets furloughed for a month and cant make rent for one month.. what do you do..

I am in SouthWest Florida but in general, are there any big name brokers you’re aware of who are welcoming to budding investor agents and agents who want to shift to commercial?

Yeah, where I'm at (southwest part of KC, Kansas side) the market is VERY strong for sellers. 

(I'm not an attorney and i say read more on this but seems... like a local attorney can handle these in the state you plan to buy and hold the assets in.)Side note if anyone is interested in partnering with me i live in sunny southwest Florida and maybe willing to partner on something.

Hi Jerraill,southwest Germany (where exactly?)

The last time I was in southwest North Dakota (admittedly not recently) there were decent homes abandoned as the area had a receding population.
