Hi Kwanza,Bay Tek (650-204-1512) would be a great starting point, but I’d also recommend reaching out to Adler Builders (650-398-9030) and Mission Home Remodeling (415-855-7269) for comparable bids.In San Francisco, you’ll need a licensed General Contractor (GC) to pull the necessary permits.

Getting started was the most challenging part of real estate investing for me and it seems like you made it look easy.What neighborhood is the property in?

I started off with the standard turbo tax for 1099s and it felt limited.

I am starting to realize there has been a significant amount of consolidation in the space by private equity and other institutional investors. 3) From research it also seems like getting financing can be difficult without prior experience in the space.

I'd love to start my networking and also understand the tax complications of buying property while abroad.also FYI - my husband and I are looking to move to the USA at one point but most likely in 2026.

The clock starts when you settle on the relinquished property, 45 days and 180 days. 

@Juan Pablo Murillo We have been in the business for a while, but we have helped others get started.

I'm a Michigan native looking to move back to start my portfolio but I haven't really spent too much time in Detroit and would love to hear people's experiences.

At least starting out.
