This friend informed me of an investment opportunity in Dubai renting out flats (multi room apartments) by the room.

Is this a single family or a multi?

You can always house hack, buy a multi family, do a trailer park and live in a trailer etc.

With HMLs and cash in place, it sounds like you’re set up for success as you move into BRRRRs and multi-family investments.

Each bank has a different website, so you may have to search for foreclosures using the search function on these sites.8.

Stessa is great - it really is only missing maintenance request functionality - that's the reason I signed up for buildium.

Take short-term rentals - they do provide several tax benefits, but they are hard to run and very hard to succeed at so people make the mistake of choosing the tax vehicle, get the benefit, and then lose money on the investment and hate it.

I would look into whether you really need a multi-member LLC at this point. 

My first fear for you is that you don't really know much based on your questions and you might need longer to learn it than just trying to get and fund this deal. 22 units, with only 2 multis as experience, makes it harder to find stranger money, but more probably to find friend or family money if that makes sense.

You want that other 15k on the side for reserves, especially if you are buying a multi.
