In a few years we may be in a position to self-manage, but our jobs right now make that very difficult. 

After 3 years, it'd be paid off completely. 35000/100000 = 3.5% which is a bit higher than the 1% rule, which seems much more difficult now-a-days in the United States.Business in JapanAs an American, we can go there for 90 days, no VISA required.

I’ve been researching for over a year and have knowledge, mentors, and potential funding sources but find pulling the trigger and starting on my own very difficult.

That said, it’s difficult to say whether or not the addendum terms are helpful - or even legal - without seeing the language.

This is a very difficult strategy. 

I'd also suggest running some for-rent ads, to see what type of response you get.It's notoriously difficult to accurately predict ARV on these types of properties, because they're so niche, and the market for them is usually completely different than the market for more standard properties...For instance, a lot of lenders won't provide a mortgage on a property for less than $100k--and if that's the case in your area, that would mean that the only potential buyers for the property are cash buyers, which makes selling the property more difficult.  

With that kind of acquisition strategy, it might benefit to utilized a delayed purchase because most lenders struggle to underwrite deals in the span it takes for the auction to close.If you do it delayed, you can stay mostly liquid, then follow up the purchase with essentially a cash out refinance of the purchase price with rehab funds being put into an escrow account as well.Would be happy to explain further, but my clients that operate that way tend to prefer that method to keep getting their cash tied up too much.

I got a good feel from the initial consultation with respect to them being investor friendly, for example the CPA I spoke to said that their clients often run deals by them before closing to foresee any tax implications. 

I look at about 1,000 properties a week and have clients all over the country including Ohio.If you could put your price range, down payment, expected cap rate, tenant type, location such as suburban or urban core, etc. then I could quickly tell you if what you are looking for is a 1 in 100 or a 1 in 5,000 property.

I wanted to share some thoughts I have been developing for my clients regarding potential investment opportunities in older low-rise condos in Miami, Florida.
