Quote from @Matt Wan: Can I purchase a property using a traditional mortgage without being physically present for any part of the process?

My friend and I are planning to buy an investment property (My second his first). It would be his primary residence so most likely a duplex or triplex house hack. We are running into a roadblock of him getting approve...

I'm specifically searching for an agent who:Has experience working with foreign investors (I’m not based in the US).Has been involved in buy-and-hold projects with investors multiple times.Can provide an approximate rehab cost by looking at pictures and is familiar with rehabs.Is willing to visit properties physically (I won’t ask you to check out too many).Has connections with wholesalers (a plus but not a dealbreaker).If this sounds like you—or if you know someone who fits the description—please reach out OR leave a message in I will get back to you. 

Them physically moving out doesn't end the lease.

While algorithms can analyze data at scale, real estate isn’t just about numbers—it’s about nuances and the most important component of real estate is understanding its value, and that to me (maybe I am old school) but can only be done by physically visiting and walking the property.So for me, factors like local market conditions, property inspections, and borrower credibility can’t be fully captured in a formula.

It's amazing how cheap it can get when you're paying physical cash and having your contractor pick it up at the warehouse.

For instance, said property manager manages maintenance issues, problems that arise during bookings, basically anything that needs a physical person at the property, while I manage the rest?

I would particularly love to help someone within the Atlanta area with a fixer-upper by providing some physical labor.

So, if you have 10 units and you are going to pay $1,500 a month and you are working on an active income job, too, this is an easy switch due to the labor mentally and physically (even if it is just phone calls) to get these rentals running as a well-oiled machine.  

Do you invest in the Midwest or you're physically located there?
