I’m Julian, been in the game a few years now, grounded in Omaha but I’ve ended up helping investors find their footing in places like San Antonio, Austin, and Phoenix too.

However, I'll never second guess what my well-connected and trustworthy contacts on the ground tell me, especially if it's very (negative).

HI we are Canadians investing in the us we  invest in Detroit and toledo where we have great teams on the ground including trusted property managers who take great care of our properties.

If so, that's your prime market to start in because you have a competitive advantage of boots on the ground you trust of personal knowledge.If I were you, and new, I would not do fixers, I would buy turnkey or rent-ready properties or you are going to have to trust a whole lot more people to do what you want to be done.

there is a reason so few flippers do ground up or garage conversion ADU additions.  

Typically romex and copper wiring was introduced and most systems have been grounded - this will save you on electrical costs. 

You'd have to get boots on the ground and talk to people. 

And don’t be afraid to chat with leasing agents in Brickell-they can give you a boots-on-the-ground perspective on rental demand.Natalie, your story reminds me of a friend of mine, Alex, who house-hacked a two-bedroom condo in Phoenix.

Yeap i have helped my OOS/International partners self manage. i can give you insights as the person on the ground

Gatlinburg is ground zero.
