Talk about buying in the middle of nowhereā¦ 
Everyone wants ābeachfrontā propertiesā¦
I was going to say never buy anything more than an hour of driving from the coast, but was afraid @Elt1 might retaliateā¦
Or, Mr. Austinā¦
I donāt know, can you reach the Gulf of Mexico from Austin in an hour? 
Itās a great area to raise a family. I have a few friends that live there. They claim the airport is āinternationalā but itās probably 1 flight a week to Canada.
Umā¦ in that case I donāt think Iām very family orientedā¦ 
I have beach front 150 miles from the coast.
Michigan has Lake Michiganā¦ but land has little value thereā¦ I think weather is as important as coastal access
The Midwest is too coldā¦
Umā¦ that didnāt stop Toronto from boomingā¦
Toronto is the southern most part of Canadaā¦ practically tropical compared to 90% of their country
Yes but still more north of Detroit and probably colder.
Different countryā¦ I donāt think Toronto and Detroit have too much in common. Immigrants to Canada pick Vancouver or Torontoā¦ Immigrants to the US pick California
They have nothing in common except the same geography and climate.
Of course they do, it offers the most free stuff.
Wow, itās only 83% now? I think it used to be over 90%.
Tampa is too farā¦I would not go more than one hour to buy an investment property.
Lots of Chinese immigrants go to Toronto and Vancouver. For a time many girls who won the Miss Hong Kong pageants come from those two cities. I should have gone to UBCā¦ 
You couldāve ended up being the nerd that nobody wanted. Good thing you didnāt go there and tortured yourselfā¦
