I've had the best success cold calling, but I know direct mailers work well too if you're sending a lot. 

Vacation rentals are among the best investments of my lifetime.

The first 11 properties that I bought were 100% financed in one way or another. 

What would a good first step assuming we can't/won't use any financing since we don't have US incomes, or are there still ways for financing? 

Either way I truly wish you the best on your RE journey!

Others work with rehabbers across the country so you have some selection on location.Turnkey rentals are an easy way to get going, but the returns are typically not as good as if you found and managed the rehab on your own. 

If the tenant is too problematic, it may be in your best interest to let them move out.

Any information would be greatly appreciated as Im not sure exactly what would be the best course of action.

we have 3 properties. but the best benefits to me are the message templates and automatic messaging and door coding, along with being able to handle direct bookings.

Best of luck!
