Hi all, Kyle here Carolina born, South Florida living.

@Nate P.Your profile hints that you are living abroad.If you are a US citizen - you want to make sure that the CPA you work with understands the foreign earned income exclusion(FEIE).If you purchase a property and are expecting valuable feedback on how that property will impact your tax return, you will need to provide a rough profit and loss projection(rental income and expenses) along with purchase price to have a conversation with your accountant so that they can provide you good feedback. 

The reason is their team is focused on selling a volume of listings to eek out a living.

I'm a real estate investor who currently lives in Washington, DC.

The StoryI was on Instagram and saw an Ad of this Swedish guy, Anton Wormann, https://www.businessinsider.com/moving-to-japan-abandoned-ho... who lives in Japan and has been taking old abandon homes (Akiyas) in Japan, renovating them, and turning them into Airbnb.

Hi Colton I live in the area and have done 2 live in flips on my 3rd and also have purchased 1 BRRRR property in Alabama which has been tough but got it done.

The home is small and old but everything is working as far as water (public), septic tank, stove, electric, etc.It does look outdated though (and in my opinion ugly), so I’m thinking of perhaps replace it with another used mobile home that’s in good condition and built at least in the 90s.My plan is to live there and flip it after a year or so.

Unlike Evolve, Turnkey and other "property managers", although I like to refer to them as technology companies, we  don't make a living off of the top performing properties and not give lower performing properties attention they need to perform better.

To figure the expense of furnishing, you could use this rule of thumb: $10-15k for the unit itself (things like appliances, living room furniture) and $2-3k/bedroom.
