I live in an area that was the 39th most populous in 2013 and only continues to grow due to a strong local military presence (active duty myself).  

Even if you go Turnkey, interview at least 3 management companies.Lastly, you should take a look at Little Rock, I have expanded my portfolio over there, cash flow is excellent, probably a little better then Memphis as property taxes are lower and lack of hedge fund presence has kept housing prices low.

If so, is it worth potentially losing that on-property presence?

Then invite him back with police presence to get his crap

Do a google (or bigger pockets) search in your area to find who has the best web presence(s) and then reach out to those people.

I don't think we have either a significant presence of foreign cash or hedge funds here yet it is still very, very competitive.

Do you have a presence?

Even so, I prefer the tenant to be present for a move-out "walk-through" with me, so I can ask them questions and I can point out damages as I see them and photograph them in their presence.

Vladimir Valter Putting all the Crimea/Ukraine issues aside to keep things easy, it comes down to this:As a foreign national with no presence in the US such as an immigration visa of some kind, or significant financial footprint (cash or property), no American bank or traditional lender will loan you money.

That should allow members to make comments, unencumbered by the immediate presence of the person subject of the topic.
