It's a wait n watch situation.

Hi,I am a real estate agent with Investing N Florida in Tampa.

Quote from @Percy N.: @Matthew Armstrong what was the specific challenge with you being outside the US?

More context: My husband is from the Midwest and friends & in-laws are sprinkled throughout Iowa, N.

Also, check out Home Depot, Lowes, etc. for scratch n dent deals. 

For example, a year and a half ago we received a new property on the beach in Hollywood, FL.

I’ve used OPM to buy n hold my 27 SFR.

@Luz N Taveras that's was my move but not for investment properties. 

Quote from @Dan N.: What a great analogy lol Not decided on that strategy, just researching about that specific one.The main reason was because a land trust can be a co signee on a conventional loan and can help with transferring the conventional loan to an LLC later one without triggering the due on sale clause I recommend checking at Jay Hinrich post about land trusts and issues he has noted with them in the past. 

Hey Lilach,I'm a realtor in Jacksonville, I specialize in aquiring Fix n flips and Rentals.
