finding and analyzing deals should be at the top of your list of things to learn when starting out!

Hi @Stefano Vrolijk, my team and I help foreign citizens purchase investment properties all the time.

I have found a good market and have built a good team thus far and I'm ready for my first flip.

What matters more is how easy can you get there, how often will you be there to learn, how good is your team. 

Quote from @Andrea Wellman: Would like to invest in short term rentals to start and learn from this forum and experts.  

We found it about 7 years ago and have an incredible team there, which I can introduce you to.

While I’m still in the early stages, I’m incredibly motivated to learn, grow, and surround myself with like-minded individuals who can help guide me along the way.What drew me to real estate is that I saw it as the best route for me and family to have financial freedom.

I'm new here to the BiggerPockets site. I have 1 rental for which I have been renting since 2018. I am looking to purchase more rental properties in the near future.

Start by joining local real estate groups, narrowing your approach to strategies like house hacking or multi-family investing, and building a team of professionals like agents and lenders.
