In order to get there it would be good if you could keep feeding cashflow proceeds back into acquisitions, on top of your continued W2.Speaking from experience, you can manage probably 30-50 units yourself nights and weekends before you really need to hire someone.

@Kenny Smith Thanks for sharing!

I've found options in Costa Rica, but rates are in the 10% range.Does anyone have any experience or guidance on obtaining a mortgage equivalent to purchasing a 2nd home in the US?

When I ask for clarification, I only get vague responses.I’d really like to hear if others have gone through similar experiences with AppFolio.

You don't need to know everything to get started; you need a foundation to build on, and the rest will come through experience and then refining your education.You can build a basic understanding of investing in 3-6 months.

I love that you shared your goal with us as well!

Happy to chat more about my experiences if you'd like. 

Ask how many units they manage and how much experience they have.

In reality, they're just broadcasting that they have no experience. 

My options are very limitted and the situation is very draining even I follow the bigger pocket advises and I unvested a lot of time in learning and also have years of experience with tenant.
