Hey @Jaycee Greene thanks for your response.

This is more of a reach goal for me since I am still in my "collect 4 green houses before trading up to a red hotel" stage, but I thought I would ask the hive mind anyways.

First time on this forum, and just introduced through two books I just read by David Greene and Brandon Turner.  

Also David Green's book Long Distance Real Estate Investing or BRRR talk about this in detail. 

Leverage / down payment required will depend on if you're a U.S. citizen, Green card holder or if you have another immigration status. 

I hear Dave Meyer sometimes talking about Green Bay, Wisconsin and a few other markets on the podcast where he's saying you can go on Zillow and find some deals that are cash flowing.

Thank you @Jaycee Greene and @Hossein DaneshIn sum:- 42 apartment rental deal (land has potential to add 32 more on  two small building but that phase would be out of scope for this initial stage analysis).- Negotiated sales price $3.2 (seller financed)- 30% DP @ 7% / 20rs.

@Jaycee Greene I am looking to buy a primary residence while I am based there, then turn it into a rental once I PCS again two years later.
