Do you have experience “flipping” or managing rehabs, or hands-on?

I manage around 400 rentals with 14 years of experience and have never been sued once.

We specialize in short-term rental investments through our integrated real estate, mortgage, and property management services, delivering expertise at every stage of the process.

Just wanted to introduce myself.My name is Ariel, I am 32 years old (this Thursday), and I am making my first steps as a real estate investor.As I live abroad, most if not all of my work would be remote, and right now I am focusing on Jacksonville, FL.My main goal for this year is to fix and flip  at least 2 SF's properties, and for the next few years to increase this number, maybe do some MF, and possibly to also BRRR when I raise enough of my own capital.At the moment, my biggest challenge is the fact that I am remote, so I could use some help from a local realtor or management company.It's so amazing to know this community  exists, and I am thrilled to actually take part in it

Planning for flexibility with frequent moves and understanding property management will set you up for success when you start investing in 2026.Good luck!

By house hacking, you're immediately positioned as a landlord, which will adequately pressure you to learn how to structure your leases, screen applications, collect rental payments, resolve the nuances of managing tenants and addressing property issues, etc.

They often provide standardized lease agreements that comply with state and local laws.Additionally, many landlords use platforms like Avail, Zillow Rental Manager, or TurboTenant, which often include customizable lease templates that are state-specific.

I’m not looking for a completely passive approach, even though I’d be managing it from outside the country.

With $150k here you’re just a little tight on budget but can make it happen if you self-manage and do your own furnishing and design.  

We are out of state and have local property managers.
