Since moving to Branson, Missouri from the UK 5 years ago, I wanted to share some reason why I personally invest in the area and as a local Realtor, serve many clients from all over the world, educating them on the reasons why. 

Also, the wholesaler is located in the UK, but they claim they have a local buyer lined up already.

That is where the gamble is, leaving it up for another person to be possibly willing to pay more than 136,000. 

According to a copy of the bill, the licensing law would allow the county to force landlords to evict any tenant convicted in the past year of felony, misdemeanor or ordinance violations on a variety of crimes, from drug dealing to alcohol consumption to gambling.

I’m a realtor in WA state and have worked with clients in the UK, Korea and other places.

Before coming to USA, I spent 10 years in the UK and I know British had very hefty penalty 10,000 GBP per illegal worker.

If you could BRRRR and time the interest rates well Otherwise, Buying a property that is negative cash flow without any forced appreciation or a clear short term upside(flip) might be described more as gambling then investing.  

@Alex Pura Any property cashflowing that negatively and you hoping for big appreciate is called gambling.

Have around (over) $1M just sitting there in cash that you can write a check for.Then continue to save and begin looking for your purchase.in 4.5 years your ROI on the triplex, so there is that cash flow (and some will say the equity in the triplex, but do you want to gamble that on a new purchase).If you partner you will ave to cut the partner in on a percent of the deal equity and cash flow.just my 2 cents.

If your parents can't help you, then it may be a struggle at your age.In the UK we have the Princes Trust that helps young business people, but that's normally people with ideas / products to sell, not so much investing in real estate.
