I'd recommend working with a trusted real estate agent who has experience with out-of-state or international buyers, along with a reliable property manager to oversee your investment.

A mentor of mine with 400 units had said I can use a large seller credit to cover most of the down payment on a property I'm looking at.

I am just starting out in the real estate investing world and have been listening to podcasts.

Sure, in theory, the strategy this investor used might sound clever, but it’s also incredibly risky to rely solely on the compliance of a borrower—especially when they might not fully understand the terms or simply can't agree due to their personal situation.I have tons of ideas that might look good on paper, but I don’t pursue them because I assess the real risks involved.

Many actually operate their real estate businesses more recklessly because of this false sense of security.

Many successful real estate investors know the secret of finding and buying off-market properties.

If you live in KC, look in the Event section here for meetups near you and use sites like Meetup dot com to look for real estate investor meetups.

If you are wanting to sell your real estate property, but are worried about paying taxes on the capital gains, a great strategy to consider is a 721 Exchange.
