I'll be moving for work on an international relocation in 1 year, and plan to keep my primary residence and rent it out (Assignment will be for 2-3 years).

I would then get an EIN and a bank account and transfer the funds in order to close on the property and then use as an operating account for the income and expenses so everything can be tracked.I have done deals in a similar fashion as a partnership. 

So I was happy he provided me with an opportunity to buy the property without him going to a list of an internal list of preferred buyers which would have counted against me as a first time investor.I signed the purchase agreement then ordered an inspection report so I could perform extra due diligence as an investor.

I am an " Internal Travel nurse", which means I will be floating from 8 different hospitals owned by the same company.

Yes I can guide you on it......i have several international partners.

Usually there is enough margin to make good money and keep my fashion taste current and my subs happy.

I managed the properties myself, and was offered a job out of state that required long-term international travel. 

We have had our 'come to Jesus' issues-fire and flood and old buildings-but so far everything has gotten resolved with some old fashioned give and take. 

Volunteer/Intern with them to learn how they do things.
