@Matt J.As an out-of-state investor in San Diego, key tax and legal considerations include filing a California non-resident tax return for rental income or capital gains, managing double taxation with potential tax credits from your home state, and complying with withholding requirements on property sales.

Mind, you, most countries would kill to get the same amount of tourists Mexico gets during its lowest month of the year.

By this time next year, we aim to have invested in our first rental property and improved our credit, setting a strong foundation for a successful and fulfilling future.I am open to any knowledge or advice anyone has to give as I am currently learning about real estate investing. 

At only -700k population, it has the lowest unemployment of any top 25 city, and those folks need homes.

One thing I would highly recommend that I wish I knew was ask if the seller would be willing to give a credit for a sewer scope, and get a feel for how much they will give. 

I am trying to decide whether or not I should go through a traditional bank (JPM), a morgage broker, or try and find a credit union.

What credit score do you anticipate tenants having?

I have a US credit score, US bank accounts and some US-based income, but my paychecks are not.

With middle 700 credit scores you can push your rate into the mid 6s today.

Anticipation of these cuts initially moved mortgage rates downwards to their lowest in nearly 20 months.
