@Kim Kelly, my first investment property was a foreclosure, so yes, I would consider it.It does not sound like you are doing this, but just because it is a foreclosure does not mean it is a good deal.

@Alessa LeSar congrats on your success so far, sounds like you are doing very well.

Hello Everyone,I really want to learn how to rent my house and aquire another house to rent and so on. I'm very new and I don't understand a lot of the posts I've googled. Heres my situation,My mom bought and "gave" m...

Sounds strange to me.

Sounds like you're on a great path to success.With the house hack, do you not plan to live in the house?

Some skip it completely.  

To register, an owner must provide a completed application, proof of ownership, designation of a responsible party, a copy of the City of Bradenton’s business tax receipt, a current and active license as a TPLE, a current certificate of registration from the Department of Revenue, an exterior site sketch, an interior building sketch, a blank rental agreement, and any pre-existing rental agreements.

I have a property that I have completely gutted and have been rehabbing. 

My advice on investing back in the states is definitely make sure you have someone back there you fully trust (preferably with a stake in the properties success) before you do.The Tokyo Brewdog monthly meetup can be a good place to get some details on what's out there but be wary of everything you are told as Ivery found a lot of info I was getting wasn't entirely complete and found myself discussing more in some other circles with friends and colleagues these days.Happy to talk specifics sometime of you have questions.
