Of course, I run a cost segregation company BUT I would recommend that regardless.

Always ask your agent to ask the listing agent which title company/closing attorney that they are working with.

We've built, ground-up, several homes and my mortgage company finances tons of new construction projects.

-> WInding creek- Good schools, costly good rents.     

Having a long-term rental while living abroad is do-able.Flipping houses while abroad, in my opinion, more difficult, especially if its your first go around with real estate.I would recommend taking a flight and staying in the area for a week and inspect the neighborhoods and make connections.You can reach out to @Elenis Camargo who has a PM company in Jacksonville.Best of luck though.

If you want the name of the agency we use, message me I don't think we can promote a company here that isn't a BP sponsor or Pro etc.Hope this helps. 

I am constantly reaching out to provide value to other wholesalers out there and in turn others see my company name. 

If your company were to manage the STR in CR how do you deal with matter of safety / home burglaries? 

I like to think I have done ok. for me finding properties is sales - managing real estate and growing your company requires problem solving. 

My family also owned a construction company, so I have some experience in handling projects associated with real estate.
