You don't need an agent who is in the REI market, but I do find that if you can lean in that direction that the connections and recommendations for the type of REI you want to do will come much more easily.Make sure you only work with licensed and insured contractors - they're responsible for the financial and physical success of your project and it is key that you're working with a reliable professional.With all that in mind - check out central Indianapolis.

The goal here is a) to demonstrate a history of income, and b) to demonstrate that you have assets (financial or physical), which may back your investment.

Our fund physically owns the assets (deed in our name), so the investment dollars are backed by collateral.

These units were build in 2007, and the pictures of the units look fairly good, but again, until I physically get to inspect it with an inspector and my contractor, this is just an estimate.  

Anthony and Greg gave good info.Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae agency loan options depend on the property's economic vacancy at the time of loan application submission, physical occupancy for last 90 days, submarket, and your net worth and liquidity cash position. 

Any fellow members know at which stage a foreign buyer must be physically present in the US so as to complete the closing?  

This obviously eliminates the need to be physically in the US and can take a lot of the "busy work" off your plate when looking for a passive investment opportunity.

I don’t know the eviction laws in SC but if the owner went through court proceedings and has a judgement against the tenant, then they can have them physically removed by the Sherriff’s department.

I guess I understand the theory behind this concept, but I'm not sure how to physically put the plan into action. 

its just stupid what value does she really do, its branding and apparently alot, but she is smarter and alot richer than me so I should take notes from her.IF you know a good way to make money in 2020 that is duplicatable, sustainable, built over time, fits in a financially and physically ability that is a good blue ocean strategy, do tell!
