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.

One of the reasons I joined BP this month is to participate in a weekly connect just like this, as I know how powerful they can be. 

I will be fully moved to Denver over the next couple of weeks.

I was eager to get one on the board and moved the dates up a week.

You talk to the neighbor and they tell you the city bulldozed the house last week, because it was destroyed in a hurricane. 

However, even though they both have jobs now, they still do not pay the weekly rent that they promised to pay.

I haven't had an update in several weeks. 

Each week, I analyze the MLS, exploring cities and towns across South Florida to identify areas favorable (or not) to short-term rentals.

Next week we will close on some property (with an old house in need of fixing or tear down tbd) in Buncombe Co currently with unrestricted zoning.

One week into 2025 and the US housing market is facing considerable new challenges.
