@Michael Almand, for a full line-by-line breakdown and scope of work, my preferred contractor will charge about $250 to walk the property but will credit it back if he and his team are given the job.

There are other areas that make good STR's that are overlooked by most in favor of the trendy areas. 

The Rent To Retirement team is excited to share this journey with you!

@Daniel Cacho I’m 35 years old, have been in the game for over a decade, own 26 doors, run a property management company with 350+ units, and operate a realty brokerage with a small team of agents.

The biggest mistake I see out of state investors make is relying on others too much for direction and guidance instead of doing their own due diligence and building their own team that they actually meet and interviewRelying on one person who alleges that they have a 'team' built already that you can use as well can be a costly mistake.

They seem to have a good team but this is something not thought out it seems , in their support I do have DSTs which have had the same issue and have not been making payments. 

Avoid PMI and then go to a local credit union and get a heloc after closing to gift the money back.Have this as a tool in your tool belt but pursue use of the 3.5% FHA, knowing that you will be at a competitive disadvantage if you are competing with non FHA buyers, then you can call in the favor from your gift person.Just know that if someone gifts you down payment money, your bank will require them to sign a letter stating that it is in fact a gift that doesn’t need to be paid back.

Strong local teams can bridge the gap.4.

We have 8 business entities availing of their services, and as "advisors", they should make business life easier -- not add more work on your plate --- but instead, my team and I have been checking for mistakes, or following up on action items, missed deadlines, and paying penalties to the IRS and Secretaries of State due to their negligence.

Hi @Stefano Vrolijk, my team and I help foreign citizens purchase investment properties all the time.
