I'm now finally here in person, and have started to go view places in person with the intent of purchasing. 

I seriously looked into purchasing a few years back in Valencia but decided ultimately the US had more potential.

HI Matt,You don't necessarily need to be a resident to purchase real estate in the US.

As I build my career as an agent, I’m also passionate about real estate investing, specifically with a goal of purchasing multi-family, buy-and-hold properties where I can live in one unit and rent out the others.I’m here to network, learn from experienced investors, and contribute to the community.

The BRRRR strategy is a systematic approach to real estate investing that revolves around five key steps:Buy: Purchase a property, often below market value, that has potential for appreciation and improvement.Rehab: Renovate the property to increase its value, make it livable, and improve its rental potential.Rent: Find reliable tenants who will pay rent, allowing you to generate consistent cash flow.Refinance: After the property is rehabbed and rented, refinance it to pull out the equity you’ve built through the renovation.Repeat: Use the cash obtained from refinancing to fund your next investment property, starting the cycle again.Step-by-Step Breakdown of the BRRRR MethodLet’s take a closer look at each stage of the BRRRR strategy to see how it works in practice.1.

We are considering the following options:-I purchase the property from my aunt – Perhaps we can do seller financing to reduce fees?

Hi everyoneIdk how to feel about this.In 2021, I purchased a property that used to be a duplex.

Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

This, in turn, allows for higher rental rates or quicker sales, directly impacting the ROI.I could remember when an investor purchased an old, three-story commercial building at  a bustling downtown area.

@Jerry Velezif a property is owned outright with no mortgages, debts or liens on it, then it can (potentially) be purchased on seller financing.
