I am aggressively studying property management, along with about 50 other topics :) because I figure as I pick up more properties they may not all be this easy.No, my time commitments are coming from my intense interest in building a larger portfolio and just being jazzed about the industry and doing more in it.

I am an international investor making my first investment in upstate NY.I need help from an accountant that is familiar with international investors.Happy to share additional details if required, let me know.Thanks!

This is only if all the usual expenses have been accounted for (purchase, taxes utilities, holding, closing, etc.) and your re-hab budget (+15%), plus the market being in the right place or will be soon enough (which is tough to predict). 

Account Closed 

Obviously VERY important, because you don’t want a bank coming back to you in a few years and telling you that the account is past due and they are going to foreclose on the house because the loan hasn’t been paid.

Account Closed In the past when I was a leasing agent I was always paid once they moved in.

So besides giving her an account of my watering frequency and length, I have not given her anything else.

When we actually look at the prices of Real Estate, that's not what we actually have seen.While I don't think one should take their personal experiences into account for fear of extrapolating a biased opinion, I see this scenario done ALL the time here on BP, especially when I see postings involving places like NYC where people are saying I wouldn't invest here because my personal experience shows that it is un-affordable.YES... that is true... it is un-affordable.... when you do it ALONE, by yourself.

I’ve been reading and studying different strategies and I’m very open to learning more and connecting!

So a brief backstory: army spouse, business/accounting background, moving several states (two time zones) away, four young children (6 and under), do not plan to work when we move (not anytime soon anyway).My husband and I only have this 1 property that was built in 2013 but will be looking to invest more down the line.
