@Matt Vaughn  I realized I should of posted my question in the international investing forum after I posted it. 

Has anyone had experience dealing with a prospective tenant who is Australian/international? 

Although the government has run a (now diminishing) fiscal surplus for years, it cannot borrow freely in international capital markets.

This compounds on your internal rate of return and at the end of the day will determine a great investment or not.As for the tax implications, I'm not a CPA, but I believe you're looking to claim professional real estate status, which I want to say it has multiple layers of requirements, i.e. at least 750 hours per year + document time spent on all investments vs. any other activity (greater than 50%).

My company hires summer interns.

I’m a Bahamian and looking for a way to obtain financial freedom and from after your YouTube podcast with the young lady who was an international student from Africa.

We've seen about a 30% drop in income this year vs last year, somewhat due to the rebound into hotels and international travel after Covid, but some likely representing the results of everyone and their brother and their uncle Bob starting new vacay rentals in Asheville.

You don't want to wait until it fails and end up with internal damage that costs you even more.

I checked the internal market statistic especially inventory supply.

I would recommend that you find an intern or someone to take "under your wing" and to mentor.
