They're not going to waste their time helping foreigners knowing that many will end up not buying.I'm happy to refer you to my lawyer once you have found a property but it's better that you choose one in the region and province you're going to invest in as there could be "legal" differences pertaining to you.On another note, it's important that you realize that strategies that work in the US might not work in Spain and financing is different so you might want to figure out first if that works for you first to make sure you don't waste time and money unnecessarily.Hope this helps.

You'll save on realtor's fees.One thing to remember is unless you are flipping, selling a rental and buying a new one frequently is going to lose you money. 

Most collection companies charge a percent of the money collected.

@Jonathan GreeneAgree 100%. be transparent and if good news great - bad news - still share it with investors - realize they are making life choices based on what they may be telling you as an example of someone has $100k investment and you fear it’s going to go to foreclosure - well maybe they would not spend $10k on that vacation or buy a new home knowing they are getting wiped outUnfortunately there is a group of guru syndicators who are great marketers / sales which some I have personally spoken with and they are so full of it and just like to hear their voice their ego gets in the way.

Instead of spending time on systems before you own your first rental property, you should be out at real estate investor meetups meeting other local investors who are only a little ahead of where you want to be.

However, I feel like this is on Zillow and the money in some account of theirs.

Hi Nam,The only way is creating systems that can help you navigate your project week by week.If the numbers make sense, you should place an add and see if you can hire a part time superintendent in the area that wants to make some extra money on the side, a construction superintendent will save you time and money, only doing this part time for you it will not be that costly, obviously you'll need to manage that super and you do that with preset forms and systems in place, if you need help with forms contact me directly with your email and I will send you what I have and what I use, that should help you Good luck!!!

Are you afraid that you're rent money is being stolen?

If you day-trade or read the tea leaves for hot stock tips or play the ponies or simply put your money in index funds, do any of these things occupy your interest like real estate?

No matter where you choose to move, you are perfectly set up (if the money works) to house hack with your wife in one unit of a two-family and then to mid-term rent the other unit because of your medical connections.
