Hey Mario,

I literally jus applied to be a student 20 minutes ago. I love that you have commented on his program. Makes me feel very good about it. Do you know how long it typically takes for his team to reach out with an appointment time/date?

Thank you so much for posting your questions, the answers you've received have helped me as well. I was mind blown listening to the Podcast episode and am now considering taking the course.

Thank you so much for all of your input. I greatly appreciate you all taking the time to respond and give me much to think about.

Greetings Bigger Pockets Fam,

I currently own a single family rental property (turn-key), fully managed by a property manager in San Antonio, Texas. I will be moving overseas in December, and I am looking for ways to grow my investing journey whilst abroad. I would like to purchase SFH and MFH that I can BRRRR, with small cosmetic (10-20k) issues. Hoping for creative advice of how to best BRRRR a property out-of-state (out-of-country). My biggest concern is having someone manage the day to day rehab operations, to ensure the project is moving along appropriately. What would you advise:

1. Pay a property manager to swing by the property every so often and send me pictures?

2. Create some sort of incentive for the contracting company (give them X of percent of the cash out refinance)?

3. Pay a virtual assistant to call/video chat to check on the rehab daily/every other day? (I will be working a full time job abroad, and will have a 7-9 hour difference in time zone)

4. Something creative that you've done in the past :)

I greatly appreciate your input in advance!

@Kurt Phillips I know this was posted a long time ago, but this thread really helped me out. As I plan to exit the Military, another W2 job is just not an option for me lol I want to be free! I've been pondering this for sometime, and I am glad you've found success with it.

I recommend CREST Properties. Pete and Allison are amazing and will be managing my property after closing next week. They are just great vibes and have kept me from making a bad investment by running real world comps for me on the front end. 

Great Luck!

 Hey Joseph,

Thank you for asking this question. It definitely appears that we are in a similar situation of having the money, but struggling where to start. I have been dedicating massive time to finding the answer to this question. Unfortunately, I don't have much valuable input to add, but @Michael Glunk's answer spoke volumes and made me realize that I too need to figure out exactly what my end goals are and what help specifically I am asking for. 

This is why I love BiggerPockets, I learn so much from the questions that everyone else asks.

Great luck on your journey!

Greetings BP Fam,

Newbie checking in and looking for some investing friends to begin this journey with. A little bit about myself. I currently live abroad, but I am looking to invest in my home state of Texas. If you're new to investing, and looking for someone to walk through the fire with, I'd love to talk shop with you!

 Kevin,

First and foremost, thank you so much for your response and sharing your experience. I am still weighing the cost on getting licensed vs not. There are a lot of strong opinions on both sides of the coin. We'll see what the future holds. You are absolutely correct, there isn't a downside to education.

Again, I greatly appreciate you taking the time to respond and share.
