My wife and I were ripped off big-time by a Cleveland con artist over the course of several months between 2023-2024, so we learned this lesson the hard way.   

Sweden looks gorgeous from the photos I have seen Thank you and I agree that Sweden is a beautiful place!

Turned out that the house had been owned by a family who lived there forever and ran a small beauty salon out of the house, so one of the bedrooms had been turned into the hair salon and the dining area turned into a foyer.

My wife and I were interested in investing in this type of deal due to the area the home is located.

Quote from @Nicole Koch: I think that most people looking for anonymity are basically trying to keep their name off public records so that if they own rental units some psycho cant just look up who owns the property, whats their FB, who is the wife/husband, kids etc.. 

I would love to make this a live and flip for my wife and I but have no idea how to go about it.

I spend half the year in Indonesia where me and my wife rent a home.  

Although my wife is 'retired', neither of us will be real estate professionals.

I heard Austin is Beautiful!

That's the beauty of investors, keep emotion out of it.
