The first part for me is investing in real estate since I have a secured job that I’m hoping can subsides some income to give me the freedom to put more time to real estate with a eventual transition to full time real estate business.

IE securing them paying tax's insurance etc etc. 

I would echo the post about security. 

One thing to take into consideration would be the overhead costs of being a cross-border investor, such as entity setup, property management, higher lending rates and tax filing should you choose to have a CPA.

.: One of the interesting things that occurred in the legal landscape was that in 1978, California's Supreme Court ruled that due on sale clauses in mortgage documents were void "restraints on alienation" and unenforceable unless a lender could show their security was at risk.

In non-community property states a husband/wife LLC is supposed to be treated as a partnership  And transferring from a revocable trust (reported on your 1031) to a partnership LLC (that files it's own tax return) is changing the tax payer. 

However, it may require you to sign up and link your bank account, so it’s essential to verify the app’s legitimacy, security, and any associated fees before proceeding.Your tenant mentioned that the app helps build their credit, which is a feature some rent payment platforms offer.

And if a property is owner occupied, how can you secure a loan with a hard money lender not being able to view the home to estimate repairs?

Not likely.Maybe some of the tenant acquired their own washers and are using them for cleaning but your dryer for drying.Get a security camera and mount it in the area and post signs saying the same.

Securing funding has been challenging, particularly because my business documents reflect low revenue from only one duplex, and I am currently between jobs.I have identified a reasonably priced piece of land and have saved a small portion of the funds from my duplex sale to invest in this venture.
