I've lost friends and family to substance abuse so it seemed like an opportunity to do some good and make money in the process.I negotiated a sweet deal, and was prepared to buy it myself, but a few of my clients expressed interest and I ended up helping two of them form a partnership.

You have to work with a team that is investor-friendly and has experience working with out-of-country investors like yourself.

The whole thing is not beginner friendly….  

I have friends who bought in Texas, Chicago, Minnesota and Tennessee so I've been watching those markets. 

I'm particularly passionate about emerging markets in the Multifamily domain.Outside of real estate, I enjoy time with family and friends.

I'd add a late fee to the lease renewal, but if they are struggling to pay rent now, when the baby comes, they will be down one income for a bit and then have child care, so will likely have more problems. 

Just google the following: - special assessment - zombie condos - Florida condos (look for recent news)Since you are not living near the properties anyways, why not look in a landlord friendly state where the purchase prices are lower?

Most of my landlords either don't accept pets at all or are super pet-friendly so pet rent has never been something we have charged.

Since you are an investor friendly agent that drives for dollars, I would invite you to try out the AI which looks at google images and satellite images to tell you if the property is distressed.

I grew up in North Florida so I have a lot of family, friends and business contacts in that area.
