I plan on getting a property every year until I retire if I can find a good deal that cash flows positively.I have a very close friend whose stationed in Columbus GA whose a real estate investor and owns rentals there!

I like to build friendly relationships with other investors, and soon become one myself 

You have to work with a team that is investor-friendly and has experience working with out-of-country investors like yourself.

I have worked with many medical professionals where they adopted the basic strategy you are trying to use. Really

Since you are an investor friendly agent that drives for dollars, I would invite you to try out the AI which looks at google images and satellite images to tell you if the property is distressed.

You won't have the options that you have here in Austin, mainly because Portland is Tenant Friendly City and Pfugetville is Landlord friendly.  

One of the perks of PRO users was to have the "one result" query with AirDNA and now it disappeared.

Many of them use RE crowdfunding platforms to gain more exposure.  

These systems are becoming more sophisticated and (my favorite) capable, leading to improved user experiences and potentially freeing up human employees to handle more complex tasks and interactions.

House hacking will be your best friend starting out .
