I am a digital marketer looking to make waves in the online real estate investment industry the same way that BiggerPockets has.

We'll be putting up a video of ourselves hopefully within the next week as our goal is to put down our own vibe on it to make ourselves a little more personal in this digital space we call "the internet" than an intro post would do.Til then, peace!

Currency conversions and getting money over here from other countries does matter as it affects yield.The U.S. dollar has strengthened and the Yuan has started to get weaker.

If you want to buy a place with triple digit heat,  pick a growing city like Vegas,  Phoenix or Dallas.  

Time is the real currency. 

The short term rental industry has double digit growth annually, and there are few barriers to entry in the space.

My full time job is in digital marketing so real estate is not my expertise.The CAP rate number was one I received from a wholesaler I contacted here on BP after I shared the property's financial reports with him.  

We have the added challenge in doing this from our current home in Central America, so we're relying heavily on digital information! 

You can see the dials or digital readout2) Inside the house, shutoff the main water shutoff (so no plumbing in the house is getting water) and check the meter. 

However, remember interest rates have recently increased and theoretically, pricing might come down in 2017 if cap rates move up....but I don't have a crystal ball to say for sure.Using very rough rules of thumb, you would be purchasing the property at a double digit cap rate…which is very good.
