If you just started this will be provided with a good realtor or property management company.- Set your standard and don't give up, in general, in the markets that I am active, you have some interest, but people that qualify is minimum, in most cases, I would say that what Jon said about 70%-80% is accurate in my markets too.One important thing that I found is that meeting them before you do the final decision is very important, I had the opportunity to have a competing tenants one and when meeting them it makes life much easier seeing if they will care or not for your house.

I still need to decide on the region (Brussels / Flanders / Wallonia) as well as whether I'd invest privately or via a company (patrimoniumvennootschap). 

My understanding is that the the mechanics of the transaction would occur much like a conventional transaction with a third party title company.

They selected a So Cal title company and a escrow company and said it's too late to change now since we are going to close on Monday.I am purchasing this house by cash, and I see they listed the lender's title insurance for $1650.

It looks like it is withholding applied to you when you file your MD non-resident state tax return.if you over-paid, you get some sort of refund.Some states require title companies to withhold on non-residents to force that person to file a return.

Assess how your property managers are performing and make a decision on whether you should handle property management yourself or enlist the help of a professional management company.

This company called Zoom Prospector / GIS Planning does great demographic stuff in the PNW and Midwest.You can also purchase data... costs a few hundred, but may be worth it for scoping out-of-state stuff.

Good afternoon, I am helping my in-laws with finding a place to rent in NYC (Chelsea / Greenwich Village area/ Upper West side).

New companies like Intel, Amazon, and Google are also investing here.
