Here are a few high level thoughts for you as a beginner:-Don't lend in second position-Don't do deals with new investors-Don't experiment with new strategies, even with experiences investors- ie, don't jump in to a first development project with someone just because they've flipped 20 houses. 

It is important that you hire professionals who have experience working with foreign investors.

Ask an attorney for the cost breakdown, factor in holding costs, assume they'll do more damage on the way out and then ask for a bit more for the headache.But again, especially with no experience with evictions and it sounding like a mess, I would be very tempted to just walk if the tenant is not going to cooperate. 

I find it's very personal, and dependent a lot on your goals, resources, risk tolerance, location, experience, etc.
