But I agree with you that staying in the US for investment is probably the best choice. 

And if you’re listing the house online, try platforms like LoopNet or local Facebook groups for real estate or community housing.Just make sure to do your homework and ask for references, check their track record, and make sure they’re following any local zoning or licensing rules.

These are people that you believe would give you a good reference when they come across someone looking to buy or sell.Contact each of these people at least once a month.

I am not making anything by referring you. 

@Jonathan Greene you didn't, that comment was more in reference to other responses on the thread.

I for one would dislike being pushed into a box, I'd prefer to choose my own stuff...and it really ain't that hard.Interesting concept though, I just do not see the value for a veteran Contractor or Imvestor.I'd ask for references before using them...

PG's are worthless those that have PGs that are worth anything dont need gap funding they have the cash.this is a play for folks you know well .. not for internet facebook BP etc.. people that do this do it because they know you like you trust you and think your a good operator.Public has to many other choices that are much safer bet.. its not always about ROI with those with money..

This is a great read and references some of the points that other people in this thread have mentioned about building a team.

With that said, a lot of people take the cost-benefit, but no one can argue it's a smart choice, just a frugal one.

Their character, their payment record, how well they take care of you property, etc all these things are for you to discover with your tenants and build trust between each other. 2. when it comes to screening, you must check their credit, their paystubs, their employer and landlord references, their criminal background, I also get a copy of everyone's photo ID.3.
