The plan: I am identifying on/off market properties that are targets, will do all of the real estate work (listing, showing, advertising, vetting, etc) and will split the cost of the purchase of the home and the material costs for any needed repairs.The contractor will be subbing out portions of the job and be on site mostly full time until the project is completed. 

Hi Everyone, I am an OOS first time investor and got a SMF built in 1920 (2 units, 1bd/1ba and 3bd/2ba) under contract at 20K below purchase price (@190K) with both units currently rented ($850 and $1200). 

People have all kinds of proposed work arounds, but that's good until it is time to sell or the government decides to crack down and they do now and then. 

We have a STR with a small back yard, not big enough for a pool, but big enough for a hot tub. 

You may consider a business attorney familiar with your state or jurisdiction if you do not wish to spend the time to do it on your own.  

I have tried well over a dozen times to upload a bathroom photo.

We used to do pet deposits, but now we collect a one-time "pet fee" upfront that is designated for damage repair and cleaning on the back end. 

I am wondering if this could be a good first time investment property concidering the following pieces of information?

I would intent to live in the property during the first year when I am in the United States, my wife will live there full time for 8-9 months during that year and I would use the property as a legal primary residency.
