Bought a single family rental 2 years ago. The jury is still out on whether I bought the house or stole it...lets's just say I got a great deal. I managed the property myself with no experience and the internet as my ...

I am willing to move, and buy at a distance since traveling isnt that hard right now so I could watch over them myself.

I recommend if you're not feeling confident yet just reread a book or buy a new one.

That gave me confidence to purchase additional rental properties which I currently manage myself.I've flipped only one property and it was a huge success but for whatever reason, I have only concentrated on accumulating rental units.

I have a guy that travels nationally.He is an engineer that does phase one survey, site inspection, cost reserve stable for one price.An inspector is not a mold expert.

I read everyday to build confidence and knowledge.

Once you feel confident you have a strong buyers list you can loosen up a little bit on your offers.Double dip w/ listing agent every time, even if your licensed.Best of luck!

I feel more confident in renting a house in the US from 5000 miles rather than in here Italy.

I am open to looking to other markets philly would be a great choice because it's within a hour of travel.

And more confident when closing your first deal.Are you planning buy/hold or other types of REI?
