My partner and I found this deal through an agent that gave us a list of all the 4b2b properties in the area and we sent direct mail to every household.

If they can get a property dirt cheap, you are still going to see it at the 80% of ARV like he says.

Hi @Stefano Vrolijk, my team and I help foreign citizens purchase investment properties all the time.

For finding my first properties, word of mouth and local networking worked well, plus reaching out to hosts on Airbnb with personalized messages.When pitching, focus on how you’ll add value (like boosting reviews or optimizing pricing) and avoid coming off too salesy.

It's been 2.5 years since I purchased my first property and now that everything in my personal life has slowed down I'm back on the horse and ready to find my next investment.

I'm looking for an experienced contractor to partner with on my first full flip; I own two properties and have done minor renovations to those properties but this is my first full flip with a full rehab so I want someone with experience to assist as I learn the ropes.

Your property manager4.

On the journey, I once sold properties that were 30 minutes away as being too far, and also managed some properties that were 200 miles away. 

If your guests are leaving standard 5-star reviews, that’s great—but if those reviews could apply to any rental in your area, you’re still competing on price.If they’re leaving raving reviews, your property becomes the go-to choice—at premium rates.

Are these areas good for rental property investments, or am I barking up the wrong tree?
