Also can be a bureaucratic mess to get approval but this can be mitigated by working with a bank who is VERY experienced in doing these loans. 

I know it sounds dumb, I've been reading a lot, but I think it is smart to ask experienced folks and that will help tremendously.Thanks!

The fix and flip market has went to the experienced based pricing model for the most part.

Hello Biggerpockets members,My name is Shahaf and I'm a software Engineer from Israel, it's my first post here.I'm studying the power of passive income and real estate investing(rental properties) for a while now,I'm really interested to start investing in the U.S but not sure how it's going to be managed,I mean I can fly like a couple of times a year, but is it really possible to do that remotely?

Hi BP members,Although this is my first forum post, I've been listening to the podcast A LOT.I live outside of the US, but I'm planning to move to Seattle (I am a software engineer) in a few months.

Listening to that podcast regularly will give you a great grasp of what multi family investors around the country are experiencing. 

I am a Mechanical Engineer in the DFW area.

There were a number of other things but I'm sure for a 6 unit complex none of them are worth it.I was just wondering if there were any experienced investors out there who had exceptions to this rule and if they had strategies to make it work.

@Shaun Palmer I consider myself to be an experienced novice DIYer on my own house, saving money and involving my 5 kids when I can.

I have a contract issue that I could use some advice from some experienced investors or attorneys out there.
