Smartland's property management has definitely surpassed my expectations too.

We have a lake house that rents for the same rate as a hotel in the area, therefore our occupancy is super high. 

At $200, unless its almost new or a high end stove, you may want to consider a new one instead.

@Brett SynickyI would probably say that the fees are high, but that’s not telling the whole story.

Taxes wise I have opened up a high yield savings account and putting money into it in case I do end up owing taxes next year, but what do I need to be saving as far as forms, I don't have the tenants on a lease yet since this is my primary on the mortgage, but I am giving them receipts when they pay rent every month and keeping those saved.

I'm a little concerned with the current high interest rates and property taxes (Texas).  

Yea definitely gotta make sure that with the roof responsibility, that the ROI will still be good or at least decent...also by the way, they are only asking for cash , no loans...

Indeed, a country like Mexico is much more sought after than Portugal among US investors for obvious reasons.Mind you, over the last few years, Americans have bought properties in Portugal in ever greater numbers and for good reasons: cheap financing, high income, capital gains.

I have gotten info on their experience and everyones roles, but I will definitely be asking about their long term goals now.

Quote from @Mavely Pazmino:We want to use a hard money lender and use HELOC for 20% down payment… should I be worried that once I buy and rehab I wont get a high enough ARV to refinance in order to payback my HELOC and HML?
