I knew all the SoCal investors would have cynical responses.But after reading about affordable real estate is elsewhere, I wanted to know how risky it would be to own rental property in other parts of the country while living in a location that isn't nearby.

hello,my name is Ron.May be I have what you are looking for.I have 1 acre of commercial land for sale.It is located in Alabama,town of Mc Intosh.It is probably the most prime location there,has 200 ft of hwy frontage.This is a very hot area now because of the new Still Mill comming just 8 miles away.plant name is Thussen Krupp,it is the biggest progect in US in last decade,you can find more info on internet about this.This area is fixing to explode.Pricing now is still reasonable,many investors already in the area looking for land,but most of the land for sale are big parsels.I think for somebody to hold this plot for two years is the way to go,probably by that time prices will go way up.they are building brand new drug store right across the street.

I'm highly motivated to move with this because the location is just awesome, and with a total gut, could fetch well over the value..

The best thing to do is to determine what type of transaction you qualify for, then locate a property that fits your profile......in other words get pre-qualified for the type of transaction that you are looking for i.e. single-famiy, multi-family ect.
