You can see zoning that way as well as "citizens service requests," which give you an idea of if properties are being cared for.

It's a turnkey property, which I would like to get away from soon, but the company was great for the hand holding that turned out to be very valuable, as a Canadian citizen living in Canada.

If you are planning on borrowing, to use leverage, please be aware that some banks are quite difficult to provide loans to non-US citizen or non-US resident.

Unfortunately their environment is extremely litigious, beyond reason in the fact that most citizens see a law suite like buying lottery tickets.

Monetary gifts from a foreign person (someone who has no direct connection to the US - non citizen, non resident) under $100K are tax-exempt for federal purposes and do not have to be reported to the IRS2. 

Every city has their own rules it seems - there were a few areas in the US that  short term rentals had a massive impact on (pushing citizens completely out of areas) and that scared most city governments.  

If you are a U.S. citizen or resident alien, you must report income from sources outside the United States (foreign income) on your tax return unless it is exempt by U.S. law.

@Asrar Rashid Are you a US Citizen living abroad?

Additionally, if anyone here is investing out of state and is not a US citizen (I'm Canadian), I would gladly take you out for a good lunch to pick your brain!

My wife is a US citizen but I am not.
