I am not referring to a property manager, strictly one that manages short-term rentals, not necessarily the whole building.

How are investors funding the purchase of land to build on??

Who is typically responsible for obtaining building permits, the property owner or the general contractor?

My goal is to get started with my own duplex or triplex and build from there.  

The buildings are not renovated, but they seem like they're in okay condition from the pictures.

I’m looking for the best ways to build my FICO score.Most likely, it will be a secure credit card, but do I need to have a US address in order my FICO score?

Personally I’d house hack it all day long to build up that portfolio.

Purchasing your first rental property is indeed an exciting step towards building wealth through real estate investment.

If you're wholesaling after your first deal start building a cash reserve for things like closing costs amd deposits. 

A partner can bring valuable insight and creativity to a deal and help you see opportunities you may not have identified on your own.Have you done any SubTo deals yet, or will this be your first?
