Also if any NJ agents that are familiar with using these and transitioning out of them can reach out for some advice and education that would be great seeing that I will need an investor Friendly agent over here to help guide me through everything.

The owner is friend of mine, really good dude.

Investing in AZ, NV, ID, where you have family or friends that is a day away and you can start to build a network and team to help manage a property.  

I sleep fine at night.

Also remember California is very tenant friendly, so if you did rent it and want to sell it, how much would that cost you (ie how much would you have to pay the tenant)?

After a year or two we intend to buy a larger property in the same area and partner with some friends on it but I do believe a boots on the ground person employed only by you is KEY to executing anything if you are not in the country yourself.

I navigate through cities and towns, identifying areas that are both friendly and challenging for STRs.

I funded this with US cash, as well as a loan with a Canadian bank.I have shared this process with many friends and other real estate buddies that commended my journey.

That’s the kind of agent you want in your corner, especially in a competitive market like San Antonio.While I haven’t worked with him directly, I’ve spoken with an investor friend who did.

A Realtor friend said he had some of his busiest years during that time so life goes on.
