Home 1 is ideal for a fix-and-flip loan to fund the remaining $90K, which I can help you evaluate options.

I'd ideally like to do this process and not cost much money, but having a good roommate does matter to me.

@Yooni ChoiFor a first property, $100/month in cash flow might not be ideal, but it’s acceptable, especially with a house hack.

I would be open to a 3-4 unit, but my ideal sized property would be 10-20 units."

My ideal location would currently actually be Augusta, GA because I really want to start somewhere with a very low crime rate. 

With the right renovations, we saw it as an ideal project to maximize returns in a growing market, especially with our experienced partner, Seth Choate, by our side.

Educating yourself on how to offer 5-star remote management would be ideal as well!

I'm European, spent most of my life in Europe and have owned property in several European countries and I can tell you categorically that it doesn't not reflect the situation in most European markets and, by the way, Chris rightfully never suggested that it does.Of course, if Americans want to reap the benefits of investing in Europe, they'd ideally need to, as you suggest, get the right market knowledge, understand the local financing and housing laws and I'd add to this the legal system.

The sellers are mostly hedge funds selling non-performing mortgages and the buyers are ideally local investors who would be likely buyers for the REOs once the foreclosures are completed.

I wish there was a system for searching for STR specific things but I have only found something like AirDNA to be the closest even though it's far from ideal for that.
