I personally invest in Galveston and am working on buying some commercial properties as well as a few more Airbnbs.I've always had the stale IDX provided by my broker but never put the time I should have into growing my online presence.

I am not sure what your mom's prognosis is, but rest-assured that your presence will mean the world to her.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to go about establishing a presence in another country?

For me, my rental is very nice and I maintain the lawn and have a presence there at the property. 

BTW, I created my website today (felt I needed some kind of web presence since there are so many DMV investors with sites).

I wasn't sure how large the local presence was on BP.

At 80-150 units expect 4-6% with no leasing fee, but you will have an on-site leasing agent and some onsite maintenance presence.

A management company must be hired to secure the property and note the presence of any occupants.

The fund is composed of investors who put their money into the fund.

If you are considering a purchase in cleveland, or the suburbs, have it tested for lead in anticipation of the new lead-sage ordinance.The presence of lead issues could create an opportunity for an investor who already plans to replace windows and doors, install vinyl siding and paint the interior.However, we also have to consider the downward pressure this legislation might have on overall values in the near term.The county has some assistance available to make homes lead safe.Best of luckBob
