You might also consider house hacking or a local deal first to get some hands-on experience before managing remotely.

Quote from @Celine Besson: Hi everyone,We recently moved from Memphis, TN, to Montreal, Quebec.Before leaving, we planned to invest in a small house, renovate it, and rent it out (Ultimate goal would be to BRRRR).

The taxes here are high, but the price to rent ratio is exceptional and there is a huge demand for quality housing in certain neighborhoods.   

Some are basically affordable housing and some are vacation type rentals.

Fico while they will look these are not credit score driven loans like those buying rental houses or houses to live in...

Total rent s/b minimum $2,250 but with housing vouches, $2,550

When application was made tenant was I am not going to to have my puppy with me so do not need pet fee or application etc.First month and I find a dog in the house which is 50lb.

My clients who invest in Section 8 housing do so in 'not quite' transitioned communities but that have low crime rates.

I say this as a four time house hacker.

So many houses are built the exact same, it gets easier the more homes you get in.
