Hi Ella, welcome aboard,Your post about your real estate ambitions, encompassing the purchase, renovation, and sale of properties, as well as the ownership of Airbnb rentals, is indeed an exciting endeavor.

I don't find even this split worth my time, even as a listing, on my last rental listing I was stood up well over a dozen times last minute!

It's definitely possible to get a loan as a foreigner but the rates will be high(er) and the downpayment required will be as well.

Lots has changed over the years.Managing it yourself from a distance can be done, but it will require your team to be built and for you to have back up strategies if guests need attention and you're unavailable. 

@Mark G.We tried cold calling and that didn't work too well...with Propstream you just use your search criteria and it will give you a list of prospects to reach out to. 

I have 10 years of construction experience and my partner does as well.

Reducing risk requires at least some time spent in research and involvement in a deal.There are many other things you learn along the way as well. 

Your strong foundation in the stock market and tech background positions you well for success in real estate investing.

Need a little more information to throw out a few ideas. 

If it would concentrate on rent collection only and do it well, it might be okay.
