It seems like a simple thing, but reaching out in BiggerPockets about getting started as a real estate investor is a great first step.

There's definitely a few things to note since you are residing in Europe, most of the investors we work with that live over there do put it in an entity but there are a few details for how that would work since you aren't necessarily local. 

Currently my husband are out of state investors with 3 single family rentals in KC. 

I am an out of state Investor.

Since the funds are business credit, you wouldn’t have to worry about personal financial strain, and it allows you to keep your capital intact.I’ve seen investors use this method in various ways: some use business credit cards (with 0% APR for 12 months) to pay for renovations or bridge loans, others use business lines of credit to cover larger gaps.

We have an investor running a special next month on 10% down second homes where the cost is 3-4 points cheaper than it would be, on a normal Fannie/Freddie loan. 

If you are new, be sure you can raise the funds before proceeding.In my opinion, you are going to have a hard time raising money with a 6% pref and 70% of the profits after that unless you have a lot of newbie investors in your Rolodex. 

@Jasmine Vida  Some groups have a lot of spam, but I've also found groups that are legit investors and also hold meet ups so its good for networking as well :)Send me some those Facebook groups that you found I would definitely like to join them! 

Hi @William Taylor, As an agent and investor, I have a few suggestions. 

I would even call those agents and see if they know the finishes that were put into the property, if not ask if they can setup a call with that investor to see what they put in..
