Or is it better to utilize different strategies?

And how do you determine your company's returns on these types of projects? 

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

One of the turn key companies that I found through bigger pockets doesn't have properties available in the areas that this new company I working with could potentially set me up for.

Don't hire the first company that presents a lot of sleek Razzle dazzle.

I underestimated utilities in my early years, so I ensure those are properly captured (electricity, gas, water and trash).

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. 

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.

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