There are several companies that send letters and some are active on Bigger Pockets.However, I would caution you to set expectations appropriately.1.

I would also set boundaries with the tenants, you might want to not out right say you are the owner either. 

However, a lot of concerns can be mitigated with looking at their past rental behavior in a lot of different settings.

Set aside a very substantial legal defense fund if you decide to do these. 

As I said earlier, this is strictly for investment purposes.The property does not have to be turnkey, if there is room for improvement that's of no concern as we both have the skill set to invest in whatever upgrades are required.

For this reason, I teach people to set policies for renting to unrelated individuals.

We are set to head back to Kyoto in a few months to start prepping the property ready for guests.

You can talk to the bank about a loan; however, my bet is they will want some form of contract and scope of work and will only pay him at set milestones.

One of the turn key companies that I found through bigger pockets doesn't have properties available in the areas that this new company I working with could potentially set me up for.

I'm available now if you want. or we can set something up for Monday.
