Other than making less money overall, some of the other downsides of my S8 experience were the following:1.

It is important that you hire professionals who have experience working with foreign investors.

I had a similar experience also didn't get 2 of my properties rented by November after I turned over one at the beginning of August and the other mid September.I switched to another local but flat rate company who rented both in less than 2 weeks.

I have no deal experience and all of my knowledge comes from self-study and networking.

You don't need to know everything to get started; you need a foundation to build on and the rest will come through experience and then refining your education.You can build a basic understanding of investing in 3-6 months.

From my experience (I could be wrong) there isn't a format but the estimate should list details like the materials to be ordered and the hours of labor needed for each repair project (for example the kitchen cabinet installation or exterior doors) along with a cost listed for each line item.

The platform of the website seems pretty straight forward but I was curious if anyone had any real world experience and if so what they like/dislike.

I was just wondering, in your experience, what has been your most successful tactic for scheduling an inspection.. 

I like to think that everything happens for a reason and that there is something to learn from every experience.

From experience I can tell you if a healthy tree falls it is your problem.
