If im out of state, does it make sense to join social media groups, etc. to accomplish the same thing without being physically there? 

We will have lots of renovations and additions to do over the years, so I'm worried that it will be hard to save up for more rental properties.Any suggestions?

Her husband is also a GC who can help build additional units as needed if you get something that can fit an ADU.

And if still in Spain, how long until it's in US and is shipping additional or is price landed? 

What are the steps to getting this accomplished?

I used the 75% rule on the income and added it and my DTI without the rental goes from 24% to 38%.Or does it just allow me to just take the net profit of that rental and add it to my rental? 

FHA now allows us to count rental income from an ADU (additional dwelling unit) to help borrowers qualify.

Additionally, make sure you’re familiar with local property laws and any regulations that could impact your investment.I agree with @Jason Wray that you can easily find a cash flowing deal under 200k.
