Better than surfing on the Internet I assume.

We would like to know of any experience the members here may have concerning international online banking (1st internet bank).  

I view investing for appreciation (with negative monthly cash flow) as gambling.

Its a gamble in my opinion.

I'm out of state so it was kind of a gamble for me to hire them, but they've been great. 

Real Estate is a competitive game, and Internet and BP have leveled the playing field for anyone who wants to take advantage. 

Since then I have looked into it further and am looking into a product by assured automation at the website flows.com (no affiliation) that will allow me to get the info on the internet with either wifi or if not available, a yearly cell subscription.

Be aware that most of the sellers on the Internet are crooks who know that emotion and fear make many sales and they are too far away to be confronted and are strangers. 

paying recapture is the most NON talked about event on BP or in real estate.. and why when folks talk about buying for only cash flow and appreciation IE speculation or gambling those folks totally miss the point and do not have a full picture of the Lifecyle of a real estate investment.. if you have NO appreciation your recapture tax is going to eat into your IRR in a negative manner.and for a lot of folks to 1031 one little house with 20k coming out of it is hard to do.. since the house never went up.. the other thing is people that say they are buy and hold forever.. this rarely happens.. life happens life changes.. and so 7 to 10 years down the track MOST folks unless they have decided to make it their lifes work IE be a full time professional landlord.. they sell .and then that pesky recapture they never knew about or thought about bites them .. :) 

As always, don't trust the internet, seek professional advice. https://www.hud.gov/sites/documents/SERVANIMALS_NTCFHEO2013-01.PDF
