I describe several with advantages and disadvantages in my BP blog Three Key Routes for Passive Real Estate Investing

From what I know, it is possible for investors to flood a market with capital which drives up pricing (over paying for property, incorrect appreciation assumptions etc) and/or can make deal terms much more restrictive (i.e. cash offers vs financing) which puts traditional owner occupied purchasers at a disadvantage in the short term however in the long term the market will correct for any errors and pricing will remain at it's market equilibrium.

You are the one that needs to be a shark, aggressive, relentless, and most of all.. you need to want it more than the next person.Let me give you ALL you need to know how to do wholesaling successfully.1) Talk to sellers2)Explain the advantages and disadvantages to wholesaling (believe me to a seller, wholesaling is a LOT more attractive).

Both models have advantages & disadvantages.

I have a much better perspective on financing my first out of state property and I see the advantage and disadvantages a cash purchase will give me.

Just curious what the advantages/disadvantages are to different property foundations.  

@Madhav Thaker, I am new to the US market In general, and BRRR has been something that has caught my attention due to the fact it is much easier for me to do that in this country.Coming from Australia where in my area the average house price was >$1m I started looking out of state (I’m glad I purchased my first property locally and not OOS)As many have pointed out on these forums, it is easier to get into the game locally because you can learn more from the nuances of running a rental with hands-on experience.As much as I would love to dive deep in other markets, being at a disadvantage of not knowing the area like a local will be hard.If you must here is something I have started doing, but you might go in a different direction:1.

In addition, using a buyers broker for commercial MF is also a big disadvantage in most markets. 

Hi KC,There are some advantages and disadvantages to out of state rentals.

You said that you want to something that is not time intensive...as others have mentioned, the least time intensive option would probably be investing in some type of fund...though, that strategy has some disadvantages...as you probably know, the easiest strategy is rarely going to provide the best returns.If your goal is to actually own real estate, then the least time-intensive way (and probably the best way to start as a beginner) is to house hack.
