I also DJ in my spare time.So....who has the best Real Estate investment story...?

We will be going sparingly on the weekends to see progress but for those of you who do out of state investing and rehabbing, how do you guys manage construction projects remotely?

What I would love to do is this all on my own to save the money but I think the distance is against me.So guys, would a person like me who has $200,000 spare cash to invest with able to achieve this from here back here in Australia?  

My thinking, the tree is on your site, he can't compel you to tear it down, and sounds like SEA is hard to get tree demolition permits anyways (maybe you say "yes" to developer, city says "no").Also, make sure if you do agree to it being taken down, and he pays you for it (he absolutely should pay, more than the 2k mentioned above), that there is a written agreement, that he takes the stump out, or at least grinds it down, backfills and compacts correctly the stump hole, cleans up the area real nice, and re-landscapes that area plus more on your property. 

I think when you reach the point it's no longer fun and overwhelming.Also, if you want to run it like a business vs. running it like a hobby in your spare time.

I do like that you said the only tenant you can trust comment.I hope to be investing soon just running all my numbers I bought my house and have spare cash for another down payment

Currently dealing with a STR in my neighborhood, directly across the street from my home, and while I will spare you the details I can tell you it has not been a fun experience.

Use debt sparingly.

I'm looking into Real Estate for a couple of different reasons: I want to supplement my current income in homes of "retiring early" and doing Real Estate full time as I'm very interested in it, I find Real Estate much more interesting and exciting than the Stock Market, and lastly, I would like to get involved in something more personable hands-on in my spare time.
