Did you not see the part where governments are both legalizing BTC and clearing the path for its adoption? 

My friend ran into some unexpected zoning issues when he started adding RV spots, which set him back a few months.Since this is your first STR venture, it might be helpful to connect with others who've walked this path.

And I am not even a germophobe, when you travel in third-world countries you can't be, but I would not get into anyone's bath water if I don't have to, STR, hotel or gym.

The good news is that the financial metrics you've read about are universal and not at all country specific.The bad news is that Germany may just not be a good cash-flow market, compared to the U.S.But then, few markets are.That's why you find so many Germans and Australians and Spaniards and others trying so hard to find great deals in the U.S.And, even in the States, there are plenty of sub-markets where properties routinely fail the so-called "1% rule."

For insurance I use Zach Culbertson with Country Financial.

GA is one of the best states in the country.

No I haven't gone down some of those paths yet.

It’s great to see you diving into real estate, and it sounds like you’re on an exciting path.

I am mostly looking for some advice and lessons learned from others on how leaving their residence and becoming a landlord from across the country went. 

I also have separate banks so that's confirmation that I'm on the right path. 5.
