Property owners can set up their property online in minutes, without agents, lawyers, or advisors slowing them down.

I began inviting them to online zoom meetings I would hold with brokers, agents and investors... friends I had made along the way, where we would just talk strategy, loan types, current market trends etc.

The tenant used an online maintenance request system to request a handful of maintenance issues for the first 6 to 8 months.

With that in mind, I’ve decided to focus first on finding a distressed SFH that I can add value to, live in for a few years, and keep as part of my long-term portfolio.I like your suggestion about building the “core 4” team—agent, lender, contractor, and property manager—and will definitely prioritize that as I move forward.

I design the homes and build my budget with that in mind. 

Mind you, with mortgage interest rates in the US being so much higher now (and seemingly for the foreseeable future), I wouldn't be surprised if LTRs in Europe would cash flow better than in the whole US nowadays (to be verified).This being said, I don't and would never invest in LT rentals outside of North America  as I wouldn't want to face unfavourable landlord/tenant laws as a foreigner.

I did not attend the 3 day class, but purchased the self paced virtual version with the mind set that even if I only learned the how, it would be worth the spend long term.

I have looked around online, but haven't had any luck yet, i have local real estate agent there, but they are not expertised on those distressed properties.  

If you know of any online forums or organizations where I can learn from others and expand my network and knowledge on wholesaling or getting my first deal, I’d really appreciate any recommendations Thanks in advance for your help!
