I had such a great time last winter riding an adventure bike (motorcycle) all the way down to the southern tip last winter (which is summer there) that we want to go back and spend some time in Chile and Argentina this winter.

The biggest thing that sticks out to me is, if the property is in good enough shape to qualify for a conventional mortgage, there is a larger pool of potential buyer, so there may not need to be enough spread between purchase and ARV.

I would also encourage you to source leads through a software like TurboTenant which will streamline the process, in conjunction with the handouts found in Brandon's book, and likely provide a better applicant pool as your listing is automatically published to multiple rental listing sites.

Where else can you get a home with a pool a block from the beach under $500k?

I like the idea of owning a house and having a larger pool of buyers that will value that asset differently in the future. 

I know many of the Columbus Cartel kids look up to me as a father figure, so my fatherly advice is to jump in the Classified pool ya'll.

If anyone has any advice or tips, please post them.

A choice to live OUT LOUD, or tip-toe to an end. 

Any pitfalls to avoid or tips for making it a success?

I am not sure where I should start.So, if any of you wise individuals out there have any advice or tips to make this journey a bit smoother, I'd be incredibly grateful.
