Hi Rae, i'd recommend joining local Facebook groups.

If you want to talk to a good agent out in that area I would reach out to Jen Day @Jen DayI would also check facebook marketplace in case someone is looking to sell and just throwing it up to see if they get any traction. 

Another way, you could connect with a host via Airbnb/ VRBO Facebook groups in the area you're searching and ask them what they do and how they handle it.

I have hundreds of comments on my Facebook page from people who paid for this what I would call a scam and it is awful.

It is fairly easy to prove that the sleazy and less experienced sub to people had ill intent, they keep a fairly detailed record of their doings in a Facebook group and are easy to find elsewhere.

While real estate prices have been steadily increasing in Southern Spain over the last decades, they've been steadily declining in Southern Italy.I was even more shocked as I assumed that Montse would be your first name and you therefore would be Spanish (I found that out because somebody called Montse joined the owners' Facebook group of a community in which we own a condo in the Costa del Sol).

Buying an out of state rental property from a realtor, wholesaler or off facebook or zillow etc as opposed to from an operation or turnkey provider who has an active, substancial, and effective boots on the ground team or teams to support you after you close on the sale. 

There might be larger buildings available but I don’t follow that market too much through the MLS, only some NH Landlord Facebook groups which are both owner friendly and agent friendly.

Here I did not find that much in my area.Thank you again and happy holidays  I have gone on MeetUp.com and Facebook.

@Joseph Augustus Welcome to Bigger Pockets and I wish you the best in investing journey, one of  the ways is to use Facebook Groups but you need to vet very cautiously .
