you have first hand experience with managing STR's without a property manager?

At the end of the day, what truly matters is the rental income that enters your bank account.

What has been the experience of the "Millennial" and those coming there after? 

 I think newer, less established, and daisy chain Wholesalers often don't consider the needs of the end buyer (investor) when underwriting properties.

I see a lot of unnecessary risk in investing in another country.If you still want to do it, I would start off with something on the lower end that is still nice to see how it goes for a couple of years before making a major investment out of country.I would thoroughly research all expenses such as taxes insurance, permits etc.

I bring an analogy from our every day experience.

I have some experience doing mid-term rentals.

Also, how will you feel if a tenant destroys the high-end finishes of your existing home?

.- Use a good attorney for the paperwork that has experience with seller financing transactions.- Do your due diligence: you want to make sure the property isn't full of problem tenants or code violations, and the seller is just using the financing to dump their property and problems onto you.Hope that helps!

HOWEVER, Relay is only the front end/ tech piece.
