Most of you are all money hungry and don't care about your fellow man.

,While no investment is completely passive, proper real estate investing should be relatively boring.You asked about the process and major considerations.

Companies have considerable flexibility in choosing where to set up new operations.

I have done extensive research in the risks, how to structure such deals to mitigate those risks as effectively as possible, and legal considerations of each strategy. 

Tenants save money when using a shared meter, so there's plenty of room for error when calculating how to distribute the charges.

But more for you so that you are not left with a lot of money out and a loophole for the other partner to get out of the agreement and not have anything to go after them on. 

If you’ve yet to build up substantial credit in the U.S. you can apply for foreign national specific loans that don’t take credit history into consideration when qualifying as in some circumstances you can get better rates and terms applying as a FN when your U.S. based credit history is in it’s infancy.

Yup, property condition, vintage, neighborhood, tenant base, property management are all very important considerations. 

I would spend money to enhance and update to current standards the search functionality and person to person tagging so it's easier to find stuff.

In the meantime I would put the money in a low risk account gaining 4-5% which for $250k would be around $1k/month.
