After purchase, you would need to rent the NEW Property for a period of time (minimum 1-Year or ideally 2-Years).

Take a look at those goals after they're written down and what an ideal life looks like for you.

And, ideally they put the value of your property much lower than you paid for it so your taxes are lower.    

The important thing is that, ideally, the seller is shopping your multiple offers, rather than offers from other people.This is one approach.

It is not an ideal situation.

That's, honestly, an ideal situation.

It could cash flow right under $100, taking all expenses in account and saving for vacancy, maintenance, capex and paying for PM, not ideal metrics.

Granted 15 years is the beginning of my life span time frame for the kitchen rehab  (ideally I want 20 years out of a kitchen rehab) but that $39/month did not include the items that are very likely to not last 15 to 20 years. 

I'm in the thinking/planning/structure phase of an idea.I've got a company located outside the USA that has some money, would like to use that money to purchase property (ideally commercial 5+ unit residential buildings) in the USA.Looking for ideals/structure on how do best do this? 

Ideally, they will own, renovate, and manage the property all in house.
