Highly recommend @Lien Vuong she commented below and has helped a lot of our clients start of expand their investment property portfolio. 

I recommend using the Lenders tab in BP to reach out to a few different lenders for quotes.

That said, I highly recommend speaking with a local professional in the DFW area to get insights tailored to your specific goals.

Most professionals will recommend a separate LLC for every $1 million in assets but I don't think that's necessary.

Having a long-term rental while living abroad is do-able.Flipping houses while abroad, in my opinion, more difficult, especially if its your first go around with real estate.I would recommend taking a flight and staying in the area for a week and inspect the neighborhoods and make connections.You can reach out to @Elenis Camargo who has a PM company in Jacksonville.Best of luck though.

Hey Mitchell, I recommend you checking out the Cleveland market. 

@Wiley Hood to be honest, with all the new regulations around documentation for cost segregation that has come out, I recommend having a professional do them.

I also recommend not allowing unaccompanied showings if at all possible.  

To get started - I’d recommend connecting with local STR investors and researching Hawaii’s regulations.
