I've used both Avail and Keycheck for background check (credit check, criminal record and eviction history) but am currently using Turbo Tenant because they partner with the banking/bookkeeping platform I use, Baselane, and I like to keep it all in one place.

Saw this had no answers and just want to let you know I sent you a DM to a page that lists all kinds of real estate contacts we use and some are in commercial and there is a template email on that page that you can use to work for them as an intern. 

I know it hurts, but this criminal needs to be put behind bars... 

Hi Zafer, as an international investor you can purchase a property without a SS#.

The smallest upfront fee was $1200 and the largest $10,000. 58 of the lenders required copies of our passport.14 lenders were in the criminal data base of Interpol; 28 were in the in the financial crimes data base of Nigeria and 4 were listed in the Interpol data base connecting them to Russian mobs!

Often just the basics (Internal Cap Rate, DSCR, CoC, CF Rates), and disposition metrics (equity multiple, total return, annualized return, & GRM) are enough to determine a good deal.Just curious, what kind of internal cap rates are you estimating for these 4-unit properties once fully built & stabilized?

I'm sure you have to upgrade more and more to get consistent bookings.I would also agree that not as many people are willing to fly into the Smokies as opposed to flying into the Rockies or just going International. 

Of course I still need to decide which part of the country I plan on investing in (it's possible I'm moving around the country frequently in the first year, so that is making me think about the most ideal location for an initial investment).Once established and with a track record in Spain, I plan on making my first investment here in the US, most likely in the Boston/MA area.In any event, I'm excited to connect and learn from those in this group.If you know anyone with international investment properties or contacts abroad, especially in Spain, I would love to connect!

I wish BP had a international section :)
