Not unless you've bought and sold a bunch solo already.FSBO is not a DIY project for the new. 

Keep in mind a platform that was built for smaller DIY landlords (1-15 units), that offers state-specific leases (based on the property address; uses that property address to import all necessary local clauses into that residential lease and allows you to add custom clauses and renter rules to it as well).

One more comment about offshore: it will not save you on tax (it is usually tax neutral) and will add a lot more paperwork and complexity to your tax return.Cost wise, for a structure like described, I would estimate the domestic setup between $5,000 to $20,000 depending if you go the DIY route with minimum lawyer involvement or the get full package from an asset protection law firm.The annual maintenance cost will probably be around $1000 to $2000 + cost of tax return preparation.Offshore LLC may cost you between $1000 and $4000 to set up and around $400 to $1000 annually thereafter.An offshore trust setup will be more expensive depending on the jurisdiction.

TC has 1GB under the standard plan Avail says it has unlimited messages and photo storage, and they have a welcome kit option you can buy for your tenant that includes templates for house rules and all that stuff ($39.95). 

I started with an old duplex and that worked out pretty well for a DIY landlord.

Many OOS investors set themselves up for failure because they don't truly take the time to understand:1) The Class of the NEIGHBORHOOD they are buying in - which is relative to the overall area.2) The Class of the PROPERTY they are buying - which is relative to the overall area.3) The Class of the TENANT POOL the Neighborhood & Property will attract - which is relative to the overall area.4) The Class of the CONTRACTORS that will work on their Property, given the Neighborhood location - which is relative to the overall area.5) The Class of the PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANIES (PMC) that will manage their Property, given the Neighborhood location and the Tenants it will attract - which is relative to the overall area.6) That a Class X NEIGHBORHOOD will have mostly Class X PROPERTIES, which will only attract Class X TENANTS, CONTRACTORS AND PMCs and deliver Class X RESULTS.7) That OOS property Class rankings are often different than the Class ranking of the local market they live.8) Class A is relatively easy to manage, can even be DIY remote managed from another state.

That's extremely tight, given that most 1/1's are 500sf+.It sounds like since you don't have any DIY experience, you should start networking and get some general contractor referrals.

I would not recommend a DIY noob doing the stick down after my poor friend goofed it.

I know this sounds crazy, but I've been told that diesel fuel will get rid of termites. I'm sure there are environmental issues with this, but I would be terrified of a fire - even years after the treatment. If the in...
