A realtor’s contract is set up to protect you against lawsuits.

Have an attorney advise and set this up for you. 

Our thought process is that we will be holding and renting the property for approx 5 years and then sell it where the future capital gains taxes will outweigh the cost of setting up blocker corp.

Do you have any ideas or suggestions.I am working on getting real estate agent course set up.

I’ll likely close on the property around early November and it will need small cosmetic updates, maybe a new deck, and of course new furniture set up.

When you set up the showing, repeat your main requirements, ask a few questions, and encourage them to pre-screen themselves so they don't waste money or time.3.

They don't have an eye towards understanding the hidden expenses in how a property is set up.

So outsourcing some degree of property mgmt would be a must... but the deal won't work paying a local property manager a large % of my revenue...Instead, I would set up my "boots on the ground" (cleaners, handyman), and would need an offshore virtual assistant to manage guests and coordination of my local team. 

Set back rules.

My recommendation for newbies is to start by setting financial goals and educating yourself.
