I've lived and worked in China and at one time had quite a few Chinese nationals as investor clients in my Florida based firm. 

This has become increasingly popular after the suit settled 2024 with the National Association of Realtors regarding commissions and client representation.see article:  https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/15/economy/nar-realtor-commissio...Good luck!

A client of mine recently invested there and raves aboutt the ease of finding solid contractors who stick to the budget.One piece of advice: before jumping into any market, spend time understanding the local economy, demand drivers (like job growth and population trends), and the landloard laws.

Balance debt and cash to preserve flexibility and scale efficiently.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

I'm a Realtor with a couple properties listed in Boise, ID and a neighboring town for my investor/client that are currently rented as co-living or rent-by-the-room and getting killer income. (7.3% - 9.5% Cap rate) So far, every inquiry has been baffled by the concept of co-living or rent-by-the-room and immediately ask if they're being run as a halfway-house (which they are not).

Success stories are happening every day,  I have clients breaking record rents on house hack more so than ever.  

I’ve been securing great deals for clients in the Hampton Rd area. 

My daughter is an Agent in Vegas I suspect they are going to get a lot of overflow as well since there is no income tax there and prop taxs are basically the lowest in the nation.. my mid term rental I have there has routinely been leased out to insurance companies paying for their clients that had a fire .. or this last one they were building a new personal residence that took over a year. 

I appreciate the comments, those were good things to expand on.In my on-market business, we deal with crazy reviewers all the time on Zillow or Google and on Zillow, if they were a client, you have to eat it and respond.

Other risks, the contractor walking off the job, a storm hitting and delaying the project for weeks, someone breaking into the home and stealing stuff (which happened just the other day to a client of mine), a squatter, or drunk driver driving into the house (happened a lot at my old job as a firefighter lol).
