Look for properties in the same (or similar) neighborhood with the same size and amenities.

We have bid on several properties at typical foreclosure sheriff sales, so we are familiar with the process of doing title searches before bidding.

This will be a straight up listed property and a purchase just to see the process on a Commercial/Industrial property. 

You could also look for a partner/investor to buy you out over time.Regarding PMC's, most of the horror stories are based on:1) Selecting the cheapest PMC2) Unrealistic expectations3) Lack of engagement by owner with PMCBelow is our advice on screening PMCs:Recommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

Depends on if he wants to keep the property in Tacoma or does he need it as a down payment for a property in GA.

Only properties that are grandfathered in. 

We worked with a lawyer over there who is a US ex-pat who created and registered a local LLC for us, which owns our properties.

From a financial standpoint, the key is to ensure you're purchasing properties at a price low enough to make rehab costs and refinance achievable.

@Kevin Duke Since Subject A’s $6M net worth is below the federal estate tax exemption ($13.61M in 2024) and Florida has no estate or inheritance tax, Subject B can inherit the property tax-free with a step-up in basis to the fair market value at the time of death, eliminating capital gains tax if sold immediately.To avoid probate, Subject A can use a Lady Bird Deed (Enhanced Life Estate Deed) or a Transfer on Death (TOD) Deed, which allows automatic transfer to Subject B while retaining full control during their lifetime.
