On the bid & the offer. 

I plan to do house hacking by renting out spare bedrooms to reduce my living expenses.

Some lenders offer flexible terms tailored to investors, which can be a game-changer.

Most things sit on the market for a couple of years and it's relatively informal (i.e most houses found either by driving by or on Encuentra24, similar to Craigslist).

Does your lease say they must follow the R&R and are liable for any fines by the HOA for breaking the rules?

@Gp G.Recommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

When comparing comps, pay attention to additional features like private pools, garages versus carports, ADUs, or any other standout features often overlooked by newer investors.

What is required by the IRS is 3 pages: Schedule 1, Schedule E and Form 4562.

You may want to research now how the country taxes different types of investments(Equity, bonds, real estate, etc)That can tell you potentially what investments to have.The issue with potentially becoming a US citizen is that they will tax you on worldwide income.Therefore, if you get the citizenship and move out of the US, you may want to see if you would be exposed to US taxes, whether you will want to move back to the US and if you want to renounce your US citizenship.I agree that if you are not sure of living in the US, you may want to avoid doing items such as having a large balance in a retirement account that may be considered taxable by another country when you retire.Best of luck

I recently got hold of a company offering transactional funding for double closings at less than 1%.
