Owning has advantages that LL does not such as no vacancy, typically lower maintenance/cap ex versus being occupied by tenants, and often property tax breaks. 

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.

I didn’t do that on a 20K deal and learned after that(my check was under $200). 

Although the list may seem intensive, I look at it like this: The total cost of all these items can be much lower than the cost to repair a hidden surprise after purchasing a property to flip. 

If you need financial help, ask under the "Finance, Tax, and Legal" forum.

Taxes are the $100, so about $290 a month expenses. $110 a month in cashflow.

If it's a QM you won't be able to close in a business entity like a LLC, although in some cases you can transfer into an LLC after closing.

3) Your $250k with 30% down => about $750k (you also need funds for closing costs, taxes, etc.)

After saving 15% for vacancies/maintenance and all other expenses, this property cash flows $23 p/mo and a 0.48% CoC ROI.
