What you are doing will require trustworthy agents, property managers and home inspectors.    

Jay is absolutely correct -  these podcasts often make it sound like it's super easy to self-assemble a team of trustworthy, motivated contractors, agents, PMs etc.

My name is Silvia and I'm an italian real estate agent specialized in the sale of italian properties to foreign investors.Wether a client is willing to invest in Italian properties, relocate or buy a second home in Italy I will provide him/her with professional, reliable and trustworthy advice to ensure he/she makes the right choiche.

I knew him as hard working, honest, trustworthy, and have known him for a long time.

There is no question that it is getting more difficult to buy turnkey from trustworthy companies that have good deals that will cash flow. 

It seems like a great Airbnb potential plus a great vacation home for me.I feel confident with overcoming the barrier that I see so far: language (I have minor proficiency and can get a translator), finding a trustworthy local rep to help me (tips would be welcomed on how to do this but my plan would be to use my personal network), navigating local laws (google and lawyers). 

In a second case, a trustworthy HVAC rep replaced the logic board for us at <$400 price, which is very reasonable.Furnaces are very expensive to replace, and I'm finding that HVAC companies will often jump to recommend replacement when it is not necessary, because replacements make them a lot of money.
