Hi Zafer, as an international investor you can purchase a property without a SS#.

While I am not a fan of log homes or all wood interiors, that style still plays well here in the rental market. 

My wife and I are remodeling a 1940s bungalow-style home in St Petersburg, and after several months of interior work, we need design help and drawings of the front exterior for our contractor to gain permits from the city and move forward with the project.The original front entrance of the home was covered with an addition built by previous owners, and we'd like to boost curb appeal and value by adding a driveway, front steps, a new door with sidelights, and an overhang jutting out from the gable with columns. 

I'm sure you have to upgrade more and more to get consistent bookings.I would also agree that not as many people are willing to fly into the Smokies as opposed to flying into the Rockies or just going International. 

That way, all of our locks are in the same app and have the same functionality.For exterior deadbolt locks (front door, garage door), we used this:https://a.co/d/2SFMNcy For normal interior locks (bedroom), we used something like this (the ones we have are currently unavailable, but this has similar capabilities):https://a.co/d/8C6nYenYou can create codes from anywhere without the locks having internet connection because it can create them using an offline algorithm.

Often just the basics (Internal Cap Rate, DSCR, CoC, CF Rates), and disposition metrics (equity multiple, total return, annualized return, & GRM) are enough to determine a good deal.Just curious, what kind of internal cap rates are you estimating for these 4-unit properties once fully built & stabilized?

Of course I still need to decide which part of the country I plan on investing in (it's possible I'm moving around the country frequently in the first year, so that is making me think about the most ideal location for an initial investment).Once established and with a track record in Spain, I plan on making my first investment here in the US, most likely in the Boston/MA area.In any event, I'm excited to connect and learn from those in this group.If you know anyone with international investment properties or contacts abroad, especially in Spain, I would love to connect!

Tell them straight up that there is no basis for their request; houses that has been used as meth labs have specific characteristics that this one never has and cannot be rented until after thousands of dollars in testing ($5k to $50K) and a total gut of the interior is completed.

The very cheapest way to go is for you to wash the interior of the house. 1) Washing from the celing to the floor, including everything ( such as lighting fixture covers, the surface area above the cabinets, etc) is extremely time consuming and not easy.
