Sometimes when a church is converted to residential the taxation may start at purchase or it could revert back to a date - that would be something to consider. 

Personally, I started in a market close to me as I wanted to do rentals so until I got my process down, I didn't want to venture too far from home.

We start showing rooms to prospective tenants right around a month before lease expiration.

I see a lot of unnecessary risk in investing in another country.If you still want to do it, I would start off with something on the lower end that is still nice to see how it goes for a couple of years before making a major investment out of country.I would thoroughly research all expenses such as taxes insurance, permits etc.

What I'm seeing some folks do is trade equity to assume mortgage, especially in nicer places that got low mortgages.

It's no guarantee but it's a good place to start.

Would I then start applying for DSCR loans?

My brother and I are starting to invest on the side ourselves, and from all the podcasts we've been listening to, we want to make sure we are doing things the right way to take advantage of any tax incentives.

If you just hire the cheapest or first PMC you speak with and it turns into a bad experience, please don’t assume ALL PMC’s are bad and start trashing PMC’s in general.

@Lucas CarlThank you but Where do I start?
