And by higher risk I mean higher risk of tenant issues  generally older homes with a lot of long term differed maintenance. limited opportunities for any REAL appreciation . 

Maybe even failure to take full advantage of an opportunity, resulting in a loss of potential profit or benefit.

To me this means a 2-3 bd single family home in a high B / A area and saving a big emergency fund.

There is usually a missed opportunity in most markets delivering housing products that are needed but not readily available and the Zillow data most rely upon does not tell this story.Get to know the members of a community, their needs, what steers them away from the housing that's currently available.

@Ella VolneyTypically, you can only find a lender in the country where the property is located and, if you're not a resident there, it will be more difficult if not impossible, depending on the country.When it comes to investors, they need to be open to the idea and then you need to have opportunities that fit within their right risk/return profile.

They are in the field sourcing opportunities, analyzing real deals, and making offers.

BRRRRs are a useful tool for the right scenario, but it sounds like you have the opportunity to buy a house with basically no cash in, and with probably some of the cheapest financing available.

Yes, it can be done, but at what opportunity cost and what will you end up with?

I’ve found success by networking at local meetups, connecting with real estate agents, and exploring online platforms to discover these opportunities.
