Only time I had issues was luckily in Australia when the company wasn't paying the rent on time and I was able to communicate with the property manager easily and sort things out between my company people in Israel. 

@Anthony Wick I'm from Australia and I use my foreign language gibberish to my benefit.

@Ed McIver Australia charges weekly rent and it works well for them.

I'm going to try to freelance and make some money while traveling to make this as sustainable as possible for a long period of time (probably to Chiang Mai or Australia first).

We are property investors from Australia - we can't qualify for a loan since we have no credit history, so the 1st property will be all cash. 

Best country in the world mateI still call Australia "home" tho hehe

Other lien-owners exist for this property (one from PA and another from Australia?).

Im a Aussie living in Australia, i had 3 investment property here selling 1 now, buying investment property here it very expensive to get in and out unlike in America, instead of buying another one here would like to travel to America and over the 3mth period im allowed to be there would like to find opportunities to buy in the American market, to do this i need to find myself a team to help guide me in the American market it totally different then im use too, any advice suggestions on where to start

But I closed on a rehab that will make me 30k in a matter of a few weeks, got an offer accepted on a 6 property package, picked out hardwood, appliances, granite, and paint on a high end rehab, I spoke with an investor over seas in Australia, I signed a JV with investors from NY, I got to play with my dogs whenever I wanted, and at the end of the day I'm in a great mood. 

It's been on my list, but I like to visit when I have friends to show me around and my SA buddies are all living in Australia or the UK.
