@Ella VolneyTypically, you can only find a lender in the country where the property is located and, if you're not a resident there, it will be more difficult if not impossible, depending on the country.When it comes to investors, they need to be open to the idea and then you need to have opportunities that fit within their right risk/return profile.

I screen animals and then assign a score to determine how much to charge.

Try Rent Caps- he used to manage my partners units in Gary and did the rehab. 

You also have to consider the down time of not renting while you renovate and likely having to fly in several times to check on work, meed contractors, pick up supplies.

As others have said, you need to check the regs in the area you are looking to make sure STRs aren't severely restricted.

An uptick may be due to the decrease in bonus depreciation by 20% in the new year.

Hi @Yimma Davila-CastroGreat to hear you're ready to start going solo in real estate - exciting stuff.

This is under the assumption that these closing companies would like to get these done by the EOY for their annual numbers.

Probably too small of a sample set here on BP, ask your lawyer or CPA to review
