Now I am a licensed NYS real estate agent as of June 2015 and will be graduating with a bachelors degree in International Business Management from Pace University. 

Additionally, look internally at the current portfolio and figure out if any of the current holdings qualify for a cost segregation study.

A shout out from Seoul, South Korea, where a group of overseas and international investors have been able to create a strong and thriving community out here thanks to the support of BiggerPockets.If you've never heard of our group, check out some of our past posts:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/223/topics/24...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/223/topics/23...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/223/topics/22...While the Seoul REI Members have always been big believers in technology, this month we took it to a whole other level by broadcasting our Meetup LIVE via Periscope! 

I have always done some notes and then scanned in receipts and other documents (now I scan everything - so all records are electronic).If you want to get fancy with an iPad / smart phone app, Happy Co is some awesome inspection software that would could do some amazing documentation with (both safety and condition report inspections).Hope this helps.

A lot of international investors would love to put down 35 to 40% down, maybe more, pay 2 to 3 loan points and pay around 8.5% interest rate.  

They hold all original docs, draft the payments electronically, maintain the am schedule and do the 1098 annual interest reporting.  

They also have an international relocation services arm that works with many of the corporate relocation companies.

We only purchase properties needing work...usually substantial work which we do internally.  

For example, I know an investor who has a townhouse in walking distance to a hospital and the word got around to the interns about this townhouse.
