You definitely want to use a thorough screening method like rentprep.com that gets their income, credit, background check, and call at least 3 references (make sure to verify them by address/job and then their name).  

Establishing a good local team will be crucial for you. 

Consult your local CPA to calculate accurately and minimize your tax liability.

Be very careful who you take advice from online, you should get involved with a local attorney and a local realtor.

I have made some local connections for contractors to do something solo when my current projects wrap up. 

For example, you might leave $10,000–$25,000 in the deal, end up with a $3,000 monthly payment, and only collect $3,000 (or slightly less) in rent.This applies to my local market and primarily to Class B or higher real estate.You’re better off finding a solid property that needs only light cosmetic work (e.g., paint, flooring, or perhaps a kitchen or bathroom remodel), buying it at a decent discount, and putting down at least 25%.

Any help is greatly appreciated.Is the property titled in your client's name or in an LLC?

We worked with a lawyer over there who is a US ex-pat who created and registered a local LLC for us, which owns our properties.

I personally don't know of their group but figured id link that article since i remember reading it and the name clicked. 

As a Florida Real Estate Attorney and Investor, I have seen investors do their best networking with local groups.
