Having a long-term rental while living abroad is do-able.Flipping houses while abroad, in my opinion, more difficult, especially if its your first go around with real estate.I would recommend taking a flight and staying in the area for a week and inspect the neighborhoods and make connections.You can reach out to @Elenis Camargo who has a PM company in Jacksonville.Best of luck though.

Best of luck in 2025!

I've seen this in the news.This doesn't affect me because I'm small time compared to these big companies.I also don't purchase any pricing software.

@Julie Doke: Industry specific software speaks to you and you can easily relate it to your day to day process.

It helps being willing to talk to sellers/get on the phone and talk to folks in the real estate space in general but the most important thing in my opinion is being an honest and true person.

Then you might be well into the black in a few years.
