This is totally foreign to me. 

My wife enjoys decorating the house for the seasons.She listens to me talk about commercial real estate investments and development and is interested but likes doing her own stuff.There are teams out there that both love real estate and other partners who find joy and currency in many other different things.I celebrate the differences as it is another unique angle in life to experience and enjoy.The big question is if your girlfriend is okay with having 3 tenants living next door to her?

The tax benefit of doing this (foreign earned income exclusion) made us debt free and in a much better position to do something.  

Other items such as having accounts in a foreign country.If you are single/married, with a few W-2's, interest/dividend accounts with one rental property.

I use Remitly for free to pay her in USD that gets converted to her currency.

Checkbook LLCs do have there place in certain investments such as crypto currency, tax sales, overseas purchases and storage of precious metals, etc. 

I think the most important thing for an out of state investor is to find a reliable and trust worthy property manager.I would recommend short listing couple of property managers in the area you are targeting and you can ask the following questions:1) How many foreign investors they manage properties for?

I was just having a conversation with my wife about how common it is for foreign investors to be able to avoid paying taxes on rental property income here in the states, and she asked if American real estate investors are able to do the same in other countries.

Hello guys, thanks for your replies.I agree with all the comments regarding residential lots, but my concern was more with actual US (or foreign) investors who may not be thinking of Mexico, but only because it didn't cross their mind.
