Look for professionals who understand the unique needs of real estate investors.

Looks like a young group of professionals with not enough experience, navigating through various market cycles to produce an accurate  business case.  

Having reasonable expectations, hiring a local professional (Realtor or PM), doing your research, and doing everything right (i.e. pro photos, professional design, good renovation, proper amenities and location, etc) are the keys to success in 2025.

So, I would only recommend doing it when there are synergies to take advantage of such as the partner having a skill like HVAC, interior design, accounting, etc. 2.

Professional tenants can smell an opportunity from a new landlord from a mile a way. 

Usually MTR comes fully furnished with utilities included, so you pay for the convenience.if the area has traveling nurses, other professionals that come for a few months for work they normally pay more, in certain cases the employer pays the rent not familiar with that particular market,  but worth looking into it.

There is no additional "risk" on the note like a demand clause etc, but you have  extra expense in upfront one time costs and the pre-payment penalty that most programs are sold with if rates do drop as expected in the future.  

You need to polish your skills, bigger pockets is a great place to start... find a local wholesaler you can work for/with and he will guide you. 

It is important that you hire professionals who have experience working with foreign investors.

Selling and exploring a 1031 exchange could make sense if you can find a deal with stronger cash flow or faster equity growth, but the key is comparing your current return to what your skill and experience could generate in another investment.Here to help,Jorge
