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.

Local Investment StrategiesHouse Hacking: Given the affordable entry prices, Albuquerque can be a great place to start house hacking, especially near the university areas.BRRRR: For those familiar with the Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat method, there are opportunities in Albuquerque to purchase under-valued properties, especially in areas undergoing gentrification.Airbnb/Short Term Rentals: As previously mentioned, the city's rich cultural appeal can make certain properties lucrative for short-term rentals.

I'd love to hear others' opinions on this but I am a fan of making the house as attractive as you can to a potential buyer, even if that adds cost.

For the reason Henry mentioned, you need to screen anyone over 18 living in the house. 

However, your investment in the house, officially called tax basis, did not go up.

My cousin is using one and likes it.Cell service is weak at our cabin PF so it would not work there.Might be good for a smaller house in an urban area with good cell service.

@Yooni ChoiFor a first property, $100/month in cash flow might not be ideal, but it’s acceptable, especially with a house hack.

A mild recession is possible, but its impact on housing demand will depend on regional and economic conditions.

Quote from @MIchael McCUe: Money isn't easy to save and $10,000( my debts) is a ton of money I want to save for a downpayment, I'm just starting so I don't have any money I would like to save $60,000 to buy a rental property, I think I could do it in  5-6 years, my brother filed bankruptcy and they relieved him of $6000 in debt from cash money.a list of my debtGst Hst Tax 4500 income tax from working with my dad I oweScotiabank credit card 1400Canadian Tire credit card 500cash money loan 2400Belair 600echelon 600should I pay the 10k back in the next while or should I file bankruptcy like my brother as It won't be for years until I am able to get a downpayment for a rental house anyway.Here are the negative consequences, in regard to real estate, of filing bankruptcy1.
