I would also like some suggestions on tenant improvement materials to use for floors/kitchens/bathrooms (anything really)Biggest suggestion i can use is how i can make torn base board heater shields look new or replace at a good value.

These are the tough critical questions that you need to know the answers to BEFORE you even go under contract for that first property.If your loan officer and realtor aren't working through that same thought process with you, then you're working with the wrong people.

From my experience, Major banks such as Bank of america, Chase bank do not fund foreigner, even if they do the underwriting is very tough. 

Frisco is very expensive and would be tough to cash flow given the median sales price in the area.

Vegas to me is a much tougher market to compete in if your looking for under valued value add deals.Orlando is very spread out with many satellite areas were deals while not like they were 6 years ago when i was funding a bunch there.. but not quite as tough i think as vegas.pro's on Vegas in my mind1.

Over the past two years that I’ve been out of college, I’ve done my best to save my money and not frivolously spend it on materials that I don’t need (ie. new car, toys, etc.).

Management is tough...I read something once that I keep going back to.

They just charge $150-200 per day because its' too hard for them to make a contract and estimate priceThen the landlord pays for materials and the handymen work on the house.I think these landlords 100% of them consider these handymen independent contractors and NOT employees.I wonder what the solution isIs there a standard contract you can have them sign that at least says they 1. have own insurance 2. are independent contractors 3. are not employees 4. are independent handymen doing work for a property owner and not for a contractorIs there something like that or are the dozens of landlords and investors in my area just doing it wrong. 

@Tua Toiaivao I think the tough part is how competitive your local market may be.
