Be that person who set's up some STR's there, runs em there, and really caters it to the US "bucket list" tourist. 

Let us know how we can continue the conversation!

I spent many years managing myself and personally collecting rent checks. 

In high-cost markets like Chicago, that can be tough to meet.If you're looking at a duplex, the self-sufficiency test doesn’t apply, so you’d just need to qualify based on your personal income and the rental income your lender allows.If your current lender isn’t familiar with making FHA work in your situation, it might be worth getting a second opinion from someone experienced with FHA multi-unit financing.

The setup felt like a personal connection all in pursuit of getting your business.  90% of it was done by AI and the other 10% came when a live rep was available.

lots can go into this somewhat simple question and most of it is personal preference.- you'll want to define "best", and what that looks like for you as a success.- How much money do you have to spend?

Are you able to go there in person to build your network? 

Whether the seller was open to a buyer commission or not, I wouldn't put an additional cost into any personal purchase.  

It does have Power dialer and when leads come in, I know it's from that person that integrates with my CRM.

So they price those homes at what a willing homeowner will pay for their personal residence.
