I've lived in San Antonio most of my life, the food is great, plenty to do, and lots of investment opportunities to take advantage of! 

You might also get a PT side gig going that has something to do with real estate just to give you some gas and food money while you get started. 

Thanks, Alex I would look to track record and solid digital Prescence, good website, solid record of online reviews, etc.One thing to note is that it is going to be tough "breaking in" with the top mortgage brokers, because by definition of being top brokers, they probably have a good track record, experience and relationships with a lot of lenders - so its typically high risk low reward adding a new lender or one without a long track record to the list. 

A market with high appreciation will give yo the highest ROI.My team finds plenty of deals both on and off-market and we can provide you with the resources you need to make the purchase without walking the properties physically.

I'd highly suggest speaking with a local lender about your plans so that you can gameplan accordingly.

One-story homes tend to be in high demand, especially among families with young children or elderly individuals, thanks to easier accessibility and safety.

This creates value for them to ensure their properties are being rented (especially in highly saturated markets), which in turn creates more revenue for me.

@Basit Siddiqi is correct, I would just like to add that these forms are: Form 8938: statement of specified foreign financial assets ( bank accounts) Form 5471: for reporting interest in foreign corporations ( depending on how your holding your airbnb this maybe important) I would highly suggest having an accountant do it for you! 

I did high-end remodels and builds, and the plan set could easily be $30,000...

It's gonna have a ton of low income housing for a very very cheap price and pretty high rents.
