What a coincidence...I don't know about well trained investor, but I am a Realtor so please let me know if you need help.

Very nice coincidence that you made a Post on this topic, @Mitch Polatin.  

It's no coincidence that 20% of the agents in any given market are doing 80% of the deals.If you aren't doing at least 10 deals a year for yourself and for others, it's likely to be a waste of time.

I read that as meaning that a $100,000 property can have $15,000 of deferred maintenance as long as its not immediate roof work, outdated wiring, mold or water issues.” brings to mind other private messages from anonymous2: The 30% figure from Anonymous2's story coincides with that from @Baris Keser 's comment about him discovering for sale homes about 30% discount of the house that is listed on roofstock in Georgia 31097 zip code.

Some way or another whether by coincidence or divine intervention I came across a youtube video discussing "zero down" deals in which none of my personal money or credit is at stake.  

It's just a coincidence that I've only done one.Steph :cool:

Thanks to everybody for your keen answers.I am a french citizen living in France and paying my taxes in France.

That triggered the birth of BTL.In France the minimum rental period is 3 years and you can not evict in the winter as a general rule (too cold outside).Figure out Spain.

I love those.. that is a great way to get around France

Originally posted by Errol Robateau:My only concern is I don't know how long it will take to sell the house and in the mean time I wanted the rental income to pay the mortgage, so I am thinking of signing the tenants for a year...It doesn't matter if this house is in the USA, Southern France, or on Mars.
