After a year or two we intend to buy a larger property in the same area and partner with some friends on it but I do believe a boots on the ground person employed only by you is KEY to executing anything if you are not in the country yourself.

—will be key to success!!

I work with many military and out-of-country investors to create a portfolio with turn-key single-family homes and manage on the back end, making it hands-free for the investor. 

Hey @Reyna Ayala, simplicity is key to setting yourself up for growth without all the headaches.

If you're open to mid term renting (we transition to this during our slower season), I'd also recommend speaking with the university and trying to see if you could try to be the source for their mid term housing.

What is your price range for the small MF and are you looking turn-key properties or something along the lines of a "fixer upper"?

There's no step by step guide but there are key things : Learn: RE strategies, what interests you, what do people in your area need.Connect: find a mentor, accountability group and be around those doing what you want to do.Help: solve problems- do people need dealflow, property mgmt, construction expertise, etc. 

Have you considered Turn Key properties? 

I have listened to some very good podcasts on the merits of owning and investing in the parks, being the source of housing it is.Good question!

With fluctuating interest rates, tighter lending criteria, and increased competition for properties, securing the right financing has become a key factor in closing deals and maximizing ROI.Are you exploring creative options like BRRRR, partnerships, or seller financing?
