Hey @Stephanie Medina, so it sounds like this is the sewer main line right?

North Linden, South of Main, Vassor Village, Woodland Park, MT Vernon, Milo-Grogan, Franklinton, Merrion Village, Hungarian Village, Southern Orchards, Driving Park, Olde Towne East, Franklin Park, King Lincoln, Old Oaks, Livingston Park are all but not limited to some areas in Columbus, Ohio I think will gentrify quickly and make for great long term buy and holds.

The main thing I see when coming across this is deferred maintenance.

This is mainly how we find buyers to offload our learnkey properties too.

I’m interested in how others evaluate and track down these kinds of properties, especially from a distance.For example:When looking at distressed properties in other states or cities, what are your main indicators that it’s worth pursuing?

As far as I know, your assumptions about the tax implications are correct for non residents, it was one of the main factors that stopped the idea of investing in Spain for me.

@Rich Davis "The difference is I'm in Maine, where the evictions laws lean landlord friendly.

Principal balance currently at 314kProperty Details: It's essentially a "2-in-1" property, with the main unit rented out for $1,900/month and an attached ADU bringing in an additional $1,200/month.

The problem is mainly a concern for people with a net worth or reasonable income. 

Instead I want to take advantage of the opportunity I have of living rent free to invest my time and money in STR's to hopefully build that portfolio up and eventually make that my main source of income (I understand that will take time).
