There's no need to be overly concerned about potential property damage by the tenant, as if they belong to the category of tenants who would cause such issues, it's likely that the property may already have sustained some damage.At our organization, we have an internal protocol that recommends non-renewal if a tenant is late with payments on two or more occasions within a 12-month period.

I have holdings in - Santiago, Dominican Republic - (28) Units, of which (21) are presently rented; - Sosua, Dominican Republic - Condo (3 Bedroom; 3 Bath)- Lands in various parts of the countryI am interested in selling off the property and lands as we will be moving to the US.Is there anyone in the BP community familiar with selling off international property?

Several of them, however, are international students.

I like asking if they would consider a intern ..

Dylan , I don't feel like I am qualified enough to be a mentor to somebody or take on interns but I certainly am willing to help were I can and share what knowledge I have with the flipping busniness.

I also do public bank foreclosures, and tax deeds.I can set you up with complete access to the MLS covering Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pasco Counties, but will focus on St Pete.I can set up an automatic MLS feed for you too, based on your parameters, and provide CMA's on properties of interest.I use detailed investment analysis programs that you can tweak with different costs, growth rates, % financing, interest rates, etc. it gives you not only Cash on Cash Cap Rates but also true Internal Rates of Return.I do REO's including HUD and Fannie Mae.

This is a really old article, but it does explain the two main ways you can buy from a distance-https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2012/12/2...I wrote this article last week...although it's more geared to international buyers, it does have some information for US citizens living abroad like you.Whoops...just checked and it's not been published yet.

Welcome to BiggerPockets Marcus, I am still a bit green when it comes to Investing and to BiggerPockets but wanted to say hello and wish you luck, hopefully you can find a mentor or a intern position to help you begin your path to financial freedom.

I interned for Habitat down in Eugene, OR and they do a great job.
