It sounds like the agent you worked with may not have been acting in your best interest, and I would strongly recommend finding another agent.

Investing abroad is not something that a majority of investors think of but a lot of my clients have been lately!

Is your client building to rent, or build to sell? 

I find it a great way to earn additional compensation as long as its a deal I like with conservative leverage and strong operators I trust. 

In suburban Chicago, historical significance or celebrity ties might create a niche appeal, but they won’t necessarily drive up the home’s market value in the same way as location, condition, and local comps.For a short-term rental, though, it could be a great marketing angle—especially if the person is well-known and has a strong local connection.

Start by researching affordable states with strong rental markets and landlord-friendly laws.

A great deal of accountants work with out of state clients.

Whether it be a fix-and-flip loan or a 30-year fixed DSCR loan, nearly all of the clients that I work with will opt for closing in the name of an LLC.As you may know, closing in the name of an LLC prevents the loan from reporting on your personal credit as a tradeline (unless you default on the loan).

We recently helped a client with a large $20M+ cash out refi on a multi use property in Delray Beach.
