Since you’re already networking and have some good realtor contacts, focus on narrowing down your investment strategy (like buy-and-hold or house hacking) and target markets with solid cash flow potential.

In many countries foreign investors buying rentals can't get loans or loans at all. 

So, you are not at limiting your self when buying a new property.

Purchase price: $45,000 Cash invested: $45,000 Single family buy & holdHey @Malcolm Grundy!

Purchased a little too high at the buy (I knew it at the time too), does a little better than breaking even on cashflow, and took too long to rehab.

Knowing the average bP buy and hold investor this type of information would be for advanced investors that deal in the back end of real estate not the front end like most who just want to buy a house for under market rehab refi rent or flip. 

I hope you end up buying here.

The LLC sells the subject property and buys, for example, 3 replacement properties in a 1031 exchange. 

However, co-living allows you to acquire properties with as little as 0%-5% down, drastically reducing the amount of cash required.Instead of needing $100K+ to buy a rental, a co-living strategy lets you start with a fraction of the cost while achieving higher returns.3.
