Get architect into the house when you are in escrow, get all drawings and site visit done while in escrow along with prep to submit once you close 2.

This is why I would ALWAYS recommend visiting to meet the team face to face you are buying from and also the team who will be managing your property for you.

I'm in Austin and there is a online mattress showroom that I visited to try out different brands. 

@Christine AledamWhen you visit your doctor with a new issue do they charge you?

I bet the government thought people would plug in while visiting the DMV and then leave, that never happens.

The most recent job fair featured over 20,000 open positions.In ConclusionWhile nothing is guaranteed, the combination of population growth and limited land for expansion virtually assures that prices and rents will continue to increase.Thanks for reading my post.

Out of state is less capital intensive but will be more energy and time intensive to find contractors visit properties etc.

Will you come to the US to visit and manage the project?

Someone I know bought a ranch to use as a short term rental property in 2021 for $1.7 million.Engineers did a virtual site visit, they were able to assign a value of $347,000 to either 5-7-15 year assets that were eligible for depreciation.In 2021, the bonus depreciation amount that you could take was 100%.This means that the owner could immediately deduct the full amount of eligible property in the year it was placed in service, rather than depreciating it over time.With that in mind, he took the full $347K deduction in his FIRST YEAR of ownership to offset taxable income from rentals.This was roughly ~20% of his purchase price.It was a big win for him.In 2024, the bonus depreciation rate is 60% so the calculation would be different.That said, you can still save and defer a ton.
