American Living in Japan, wants to invest in the US

Hi

I'm an American Living in Tokyo.  I did my first investment in Hawaii in January.  It's a 4 Bedroom, 3 Bath in Hawaii Kai.  I was lucky as my accountant introduced me to a Broker who also doubles as a Property Manager so I was able to find a great place and ended up renting it back to the owner (Military and their orders changed after selling to me).   Her husband is a contractor so I can hire him if I need any work done.   I'm super happy with this arrangement as it all pretty passive from my perspective. 

I'm still new to investing.   I want to diversify a bit with my next investment and get something outside of Hawaii.  What is the best way to find a similar set up?   Good broker, property manager, contractor?    Is Turn Key Companies the best choice?   Any recommendations?   Is there a better approach? 

Thanks for the input.

Dave
