They write off plane tickets, meals and have a place to stay for free.Even if the property loses some money, it is probably offsetting other rental income.

Partnering, crowdfunding, syndication, or buying a plane ticket and flying out to the unit, etc.

I self manage the one in Arizona but I feel that’s easier because we will be moving stateside and I’ll only be a $600 plane ride away as opposed to Guam which would be about $2700 if I ever needed to comeback.** the $473K is with closing cost and VA funding fee rolled into loan. 

What type of real estate investing are you planing to do?

Don't hesitate to get on a plane to meet a business partner, sponsor or whomever you're intending to do business with. 

In my opinion, this is like asking "what's the fastest way to get to Europe from the US without using a plane?"

I am on a plane and wifi is spotty so I will break this up on parts to avoid losing it all. 

You then hop a plane and proceed with your due diligence.If you do not have trusted eyes on the ground do not invest out of state.

First few deals are the hardest...I am all the way in the other side of the world, but I am planing my move to USA.

We were kidding around about having the in-laws stick the kiddos on a plane and fly them out so we could stay longer!
