Now I can say I’ve almost come full circle.During lock down last year I spent a lot of time watching YouTube videos and stumbled across an Australian (Lindsay Stewart) who was acquiring US properties remotely.I have been investing in property since 2007 but had never had anyone walk me through the process of how to successfully invest remotely.After months of due diligence I acquired a property in Roseville, MI from (having never been to that state let alone that city).I was able to buy it deeply discounted, with a tenant in place only doing minimum delayed maintenance items - 500 spent.The asset is generating a 10.2% net yield and once I carry out a cosmetic renovation that will increase to 16.2% net yield!
