In that situation, I personally would not be investing in direct real estate at all.If I wanted exposure to a foreign real estate market, I would invest passively and hire a manager that has years more experience than I could ever hope to gain, and whose job is to supervise and watch everything and make sure that it goes well.Just my $0.02.And whatever you decide to do: good luck.

We have recently partnered with Outsite.co, one of the largest coworking/coliving communities in the world to handle booking and management.The property itself has appreciated and we are watching the market to determine the best time to hold a capital event.

Just be sure to read the fine print and watch out for any fees.

It was pretty interesting watching this all play out..

You sound like you might jump at the first bad application that comes in so you need to watch out for that as that is the worst new landlord mistake you can make.

Watched properties listed over 60 daysUsed same realtor to keep costs lowHow did you finance this deal?

I am not sure if you've been watching the inventory there much yet. 

Pro:- it’s trained to look for safety risks, expensive repairs- within minutes analyzes entire disclosure packet of hundreds of pages- works as another set of eyes that looks for things you should be watching out for, likewise of a companion - great to quickly learn of property conditions from the actual documents while on the go (given that you still follow your own due diligence process)- beta is freeCons:- still in beta- can’t share report directly unless copy and paste- only core documents (home inspection, pest, roof, tds, hazard, solar) are supported but not regional specific disclosures like hoa- estimates it provides aren’t accurate- not mobile friendly 

What was your experience like—any challenges, advice, or things I should watch out for?

However, no one will watch out for your investment like you will so choosing, or even having a property manager is a major decision.
