I have found it easier to work with my foreign investor clients (Canadian, European, and Asian) who buy and hold properties for monthly cash flow compared to trying to help foreign investors who want to rehab and resell for capital appreciation.

., Most people say the ski towns demand drops off significantly in the summer, but in Mammoth we have the added bonus of being very close to Yosemite National Park (and on the way between Death Valley and Yosemite, for people touring multiple parks!).

Tim, when was the last time, (if ever) you visited a western European country?

My parents have always been interested in real estate and architecture, when I was younger they used to drag me along with them to go tour new neighborhoods, look at new houses being built or old houses being renovated, and on the weekends the TV was on HGTV or other programs showing real estate for sale.

I email a copy to interested individuals before scheduling property tours.

My timeline is beginning to compress as my tour approaches it's end.My hope is for a 4-plex less than $400K and a 10% cap rate(which I'm realizing is a high expectation) in as close as possible to move in condition without all units occupied(I'll have to live in one to satisfy the VA requirement).

I have a pretty "open-door policy" for walk-ins and/or property tours! 

They offer bus tours of their investment areas for out-of-towners to get a feel for the neighborhoods.

, and I told them I screen tenants closely and maintain my units, and while it does happen, those horror stories may be more Hollywood than reality for the careful small scale landlord (and so ended my publicity tour).....So I am definitely convinced a landlord reality show is not in the mix (scenes of me painting walls, cleaning and turning around units, highly satisfied long term tenants, move in, move out,  a snoozer, low ratings).....

If it is not ready now, I wasn't interested.When looking to buy, I once toured a home where the owners were present.
