Crossing my fingers!

Florida is a state that does not fool around when it comes to foreclosures as if you do not have your i's dotted and T's crossed you can get burned bad.

But the road crosses 3 other properties for which there is no legal access.  

Financing- build a relationship with a regional banker, don’t shop for interest rates, start small and build history and loyalty they are your team, Cross collateralize, deposit CD/MM or custodial account with bank for loan, give them monthly updates, nail your deal analysis, do stress tests on your deal analysis-cost/interest rate/deal length/ sale price etc. 12.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

I also invest cross country and love it.

I definitely recommend taking a look at those first (You can google "Mais Habitação" to get started).In terms of contacts that are investor friendly:* Ivo Sousa from Remax (in Madeira)* Rui Magalhaes from DMA Tax Accountants (in Cascais but with experience in cross-border tax affairs, great work ethic and a solid command of English)These folks aren't on the forum but can be found easily through Google.In terms of STR data: AirDNA is a good starting point 🙂

@Jonathan Greene“when everyone knows it takes six to eight months of cross-platform marketing to make stuff happen.”I didn’t think about this until I read your post.  

this was the only refund by RADD mentioned in the 66 Google reviews/responses on their Google listing, and it was in response to an investor who had filed an SEC complaint, so everyone who has invested with them and has been denied a redemption, please file SEC complaint, but still more likely that a chronically depressed Lemming will survive the annual ocean crossing than you will see a dime of your investment anytime soon. 

We may have crossed paths at a previous PadSplit meetup.
