There are some people on the forum who hate Anacostia and all things Southeast. 

As others have mentioned, the Southeast is a beautiful place, lots of investing opportunities - FL and TN don't have state income taxes. 

I settled on a growing city in a republican state in the south east with good rent to price ratios, plenty of jobs, projected job growth, historical home appreciation, low crime, etc.I bought a turnkey property to start.

Pretty much anywhere in the South East is a solid bet.

@Sarp Ka To follow up on a mention from above, the Southeast/Sunbelt has seen tremendous growth and opportunities.

Some realities :- Singapore, Australian and New Zealand condo properties, are already being taken by Southeast Asia business family since the 1980s !

I am not talking about stagnant cashflow markets like the midwest, but strong markets like some of the medium sized cities in the southeast or texas where lots of people and jobs are moving and markets are cashflowing and appreciating. 

In Asia parenting , the daily routine is extremely hard (unlike "easy" like the west to current GenZ) that the asian kid has to overachieve their progress anyway regardless of their inheritance status in the future. my grandpa from my side and my wife acquire lot of properties in 1950s for their children, so does my parent and my wife's parent is keep buying property and small store, while I'm buying rental for next generation as well, maybe my kid would do the same.So while "creating a generational wealth" has been applied to us for the last three generation but that doesn't make us spoil but still working hard (due to style of parenting that we got) ..I have lot and lot of doctors in the 1980s and they got their first home from the parent still.

By the way, we are in Mexico currently, and three months ago, we were in SE Asia!
