One didn't make your list.1) I see people all the time raising money for real estate deals but they call it a partnership either because they are ignorant of the law or they are trying to avoid paying for all the legal work. 

I had a call with Simpletalk a few months ago and seemed pretty interesting but haven't pulled the trigger yet as it is costly.I know services do white labels and people brand it into their own AI call services, which mean a lot of these AI calls may actually be the same service...How much does Air AI cost?

People who complain about the quality of leads typically fail to understand that it takes months and sometimes even years to nurture and convert a lead.

Without a deep understanding of these elements, can you underwrite a deal via an algorithm ?

Why ask: This helps you understand how many people have succeeded under their mentorship, giving you an idea of the potential outcomes.

Here are additional comments:1) Buying out of state removes any local knowledge you have from assisting in your success, including knowing areas, people and costs. - We always recommend buying your first rental locally if possible and DIY managing to learn as much as possible before investing OOS.2) Lots of crooks and incompetents in the PMC world:( They both cost you money.- As already stated, you'll have a small portfolio.

Hello good people!

And your net worth will thank you.If you still want to go ahead, you'd be better off buying a house than an apartment because, while the value of the building itself will go to 0, you'll still have the value of the land, bearing in mind that the land might actually lose value too given the depopulation and the yen depreciation.Sorry if I'm pooping a party but make sure you understand what you're getting into (which you're already doing by asking the forum) and then make the decision that's right for you according to your objectives.

There simply are too many people attempted to get their hands in our pockets. 

Some of the logistics are fuzzy as we would have to travel there regulary, get to have a great understanding of the cultural differences, build a 'team' of people as there are no Home Depots on every corner, but for about $50k US, you can own a pretty cool place in Italy.Best of luck to you!
