Are there books, Podcasts or ways that I can study about how it's done and the details involved.

As a foreign investor I think you will need to leave 35% of the profits parked with the IRS until tax time - which means you'll have to file some sort of US tax return.

@Nathan Wiebe If you have been filling your US taxes and have an established/current US credit file, then you would be able to get conventional Freddie/Fannie financing.

You will NOT save any money by operating with an LLC, indeed there are startup & operating costs involved (not large), which means having an LLC will actually cost you more than not having one (outside of any liability related issues).

I just did my entire rental with the Lifeproof planks....its really easy to work with.You can easily trim/grind/file the material to fit tight up to the edge of the tub.....its just going to be tedious to do.

Be sure to get your county rental inspection from a licensed inspector and file that and the few other forms with the county. 

A few things to think about if you do decide to invest out of state:How involved in the process do you want to be?

For instance, this particular deal I'm currently involved with is located in the Unincorporated Lake County area.

It is extremely risky to not have any insurance in the event of a huge loss such as the house burns to the ground or a major lawsuit involving your property because of an injury.

Im hoping to find some ideas , and creative ways to come out of my comfort zone and get more involved with others in my area.
