They've become a sort of extended family.Otherwise, I had done wholesale acquisitions and a live-in flip.I have a YouTube channel with a few videos that discuss house hunting, nuances of buying real estate in Italy and show some of our renovation process. 

Flying in monthly helps, but having a local contact (realtor, manager, or trusted partner) is key for regular updates.Use tools like progress photos, video calls, or project management apps to stay connected, and schedule visits at critical stages of the project.

I know a lot of folks that started with 1 or 2 properties that they bought from A turnkey rental seller and then went on their own, after all, purchasing and owning A rental property is the real experience it is far more hands on then any course your listen or video youll ever watch, so for someone that has the funds and is eager to learn the real way, and is okay to not make his full top profit of their first few investment properties it would be an idea for them to start with A turnkey seller.But as mentioned here, it definitely comes with A certain price tag, although for some starters they can pay up even more when they start on their own, and with A turnkey seller they'll actually save money.It all depends on the investors capabilities, experience, guts, funds avail, time (if you got they full time job besides real estate) etc...

I have a video on how I do this on my Youtube Channel :) 

Can anyone suggest training videos, books, or other resources that would help educate me on the topic?

Do you still have the video I shared with you months ago on how to set up an LLC in Tennessee?

Any advice, suggestions, books, videos or discussions are welcomed and greatly appreciated.

I use WOW Video Tours for my listings.

I also watched Chad Carson's videos about being a small but might investor.
