I'm still really new to the investing side of this, I'm nervous with the holidays coming I'll have to set on one a while.
I've decided because of this I'm going to buy a very cheap property in a good rental area, and...

marketing for leads to deals, or outsourcing overseas for calling is doable and systematic....but for deeper follow-up, and getting a contract, physical seeing property, dealing reality, how do you outsource, partner or hire for that?  

So that should be your target Seller: Ma and Pa, "salt of the earth" type people who are willing to let you take a sawzall and chop saw to their asset worth hundreds of thousands of $$$.I think it's doable, but don't be surprised if it's not as easy as the rosy picture you paint. 

It’s totally doable.

That won't be very easy but still doable.

I was hoping to get away with a budget of 1-1.2 million for 8 units at 975/sq. ft. each but I’m not sure that’s doable down here

I do not do this at distance but as long as you have these key team members it is absolutely doable!

@Curtis Miles Definitely doable with the right strategies :)

If you want a few rental houses to supplement retirement much more doable. 

Because I’m not willing to cut my living expenses by living in my car, I think I will either have to move to a cheaper market (doable because I’m single) and/or find a better paying W2 job.
