I have to wonder, do Airbnb owners know that the person interfacing with their guests is overseas and has no idea about the details of their home?

Hi Everyone,I have been browsing Bigger Pockets for some time now and I would like to think the opportunity on a deal I secured is due to the great group of people here helping each other out with great advice. 

I was browsing online for strip centers, etc and searching by cap rate and stumbled across this 8 cap which got my attention.

There is a wealth of information here for you to browse.  

She browses the isles and takes note of the layouts that they have on display.

He'll even go to open houses and browse houses that are for sale off the MLS just to see what styles are popular and what other sellers are asking for. 

Someone who knows not just loans and mortgage as well as renovations and finding the right piece of property, but who knows how to build networks and interface with buyers as well as sellers is someone who very well might have a lot to teach.

Looking forward to browsing, learning and soon(tm) contributing to the forums when I have some more knowledge under my belt. 

I would not scrutinize everything people say so much, they were single setting the tone to you that they're qualified and are not just browsing at units. 

Also, I recommend browsing the forums, as questions about structuring deals with passive investors have been asked hundreds of times, so you'll likely find the answers to your questions (as well as find questions you didn't even think to ask).
