The reason I did it is because I live in an area of the country that was exploding in 2016 and when you don't have to pay any capital gains on real estate inside a SDIRA that is a huge deal.

It’s an area filled with short-term rental properties owned by a mix of out-of-town hosts and locals, but I know the advice here can apply to hosts and managers across the country!

you can always call or email the tenant in regards to this matter. i personally smoke as well and just would want my tenants happy and not feeling accused as its a big problem with a lot of tenant v landlord situations around the country. you can always say you got a report of the odor of weed and was just verifying the smell with both tenants on the property. you can restate your conditions with smoking. you can always ask if they are legally able to do so as well (meaning medical card). depending on how you want to handle it, if you want to make it a legal warning to the tenant as well, you should write a written letter sent by mail stating you got a report of weed and this is a written warning in case this a problem down the road, you have evidence to show the court if it gets to that matter that this is not your first occurrence. best of luck!

After picking up my life in Los Angeles and moving to Fayetteville, AR for a house-hack, I do have a word of wisdom: make sure you like the place you're going to live if you're moving across the country to start your real estate investing journey.

Hi @Helena Goyvaerts,Investing in the US from a different country is fairly similar to investing as a US citizen, but there are a few differences and a few things to keep in mind.1.

AND you get to live near some of the best beaches in the country. 

Best of luck on your 2025 goal—sounds like you’re on a great path!

Henry,Good to know the technology and law-enforcement is working for you while you’re you’re out of the country.

My end game is to show you a path to financial independence, whether that be at 45 yrs old or 70 yr old.  

Most of these out-of-country marketing teams are selling properties in places I would never buy.
