I've met many people though who go thru these programs and never buy a thing. 

In the Reno, NV area, there aren’t many new apartment starts, and with tech jobs coming from CA, there’s going to be a shortage, which is driving up purchase prices.

We went with highest offer got a counter asking $20k more and reluctantly signed.

Hey there,I am a business owner, located in Europe, and I am looking for a person who is just like me, a newbie investor, who has not invested yet, but has a lot of passion, drive and any business experience to invest (through syndication) in multifamily properties in USA (south, south east and south west).I have been involved in business ventures in the last 5+ years while working in various sectors, including marketing, aerospace and defense and e-learning.

Most people typically make a good 30min drive.

Pool made with insulated concrete forms. 14 person hot tub.Epoxy resin covered vanities, counter tops, accent wall, closet doors, floors, to mimic marble and granite.

I've run the numbers on homes in our price range within a 3hr drive radius of our zip and they just don't make sense as rental units.I'm fluent in Spanish so other than the financing problem maintaining a rental in Costa Rica vs another market in the USA that requires a flight is fairly comparable from my perspective.Its funny because buying a sub 70k house anywhere in the US would be so easy for us.

Tenants are looking for parcels that fit in their ideal box size layout for building and parking spaces requirements with any drive thru's wanted.

Still believe that:1) With 3D Tours, floorplans and walk-thru videos (taken & shared by listing agent with buyer agents) there's little need for an investor to physically see a property.2) Agents should better set expectations with investor buyers, so they understand that with #1 above and a great inspection, there's no need for them to physically see a property. 

For example you buy a hip drive-thru coffee shop based on them paying $50/ft in rent for 10 years.
