If you’re looking to invest in your backyard, it helps to network with as many locals in the industry as you can.

Well, closing your account so quickly certainly doesnt help the attemp to network. 

Any flat fee agents are not with the larger local agencies that have the market share of the listings and buyers.

Second, even in countries that do allow foreigners to buy investment properties relatively easily (like Spain), you typically have to come up with much larger down payments (like 40%+) as a foreigner.

Larger are as low as $1.15. 

From experience, proper planning, strong insurance coverage, and networking with experienced investors are key to making the most of an LLC for your investments.Good luck!

It would be the easiest to network and find all the experts that will be needed to make it happen.

Most of my network hasn't heard of them or done any deals with them, so I'm reaching into the ether to find out more than what Google can offer. 

Bigger Pockets is a great place for education and networking.
