Also, I have very little capital at the moment but I anticipate being able to stash some cash away in the time that I'm researching (I have no debt other than the two houses I own; one is rented and I plan to rent the other when I move out of the US). 

Here are some basic pros and cons:Pros:Your capital often goes much much further in other markets, esp if you live in CA, NY, HI, or the Seattle/Tacoma area Getting comfortable with OOS investing really opens you up to greater diversification of your REI portfolio as you build it.

Some major capital expenses on my one rental property, getting our finances combined and DTI in a much more favorable light for the next purchse. 

I’ve never been through this before...is my capital gain the entire sum of money since I’ve invested none of my own funds?

If you want to find Lenders to provide capital to Investors for the purposes of acquiring, improving and reselling real estate (SFRs, MFRs, Commercial), visit these websites:https://www.scotsmanguide.com/Residential/LenderSe...https://privatelenderlink.com/Both websites allow you to search for local lenders in your Cities / States.Most of the lenders there will more than likely approve 80-85% Purchase + 100% Rehab CostsTypical costs right now are ~10% Interest and ~2 points1-year term, interest-only, no pre-payment penalty.

@Chris Petzy ETFs put your capital at risk so it depends on if you're ok with said risk.

A lot of these homes are older and your on paper 2-3% rule can easily disintegrate with capital expenditure and/or eviction/turnover. 

And then f the HOA fees are ridiculous, then selling it capital gains tax free who save you money in the long run, more than making up the legal fees.

You can make a profit now and the rents don't provide enough of a buffer for future capital expenditures.
