@Zacharias Salva - More important than the cap rate is what your personal goals are.

Hi Zacharias,Welcome to BiggerPockets.Geee, I'll be your friend for $100/ month favor.

@Michael Zacharias Hi Mike, I would suggest getting with a real estate professional that works with Investors and knows the market and area very well.

@Zacharias SalvaI am a local real estate investor in Miami and a lot of my clients are international investors.

- Ravi Zacharias, Norman Geisler, General EditorsGood luck as you continue down this journey, and enjoy your books!

@Zacharias Salva I would look into the costs per year to have a license.

@Zacharias AitchisonMany OOS investors set themselves up for failure because they don't truly take the time to understand:1) The Class of the NEIGHBORHOOD they are buying in - which is relative to the overall area.2) The Class of the PROPERTY they are buying - which is relative to the overall area.3) The Class of the TENANT POOL the Neighborhood & Property will attract - which is relative to the overall area.4) The Class of the CONTRACTORS that will work on their Property, given the Neighborhood location - which is relative to the overall area.5) The Class of the PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANIES (PMC) that will manage their Property, given the Neighborhood location and the Tenants it will attract - which is relative to the overall area.6) That a Class X NEIGHBORHOOD will have mostly Class X PROPERTIES, which will only attract Class X TENANTS, CONTRACTORS AND PMCs and deliver Class X RESULTS.7) That OOS property Class rankings are often different than the Class ranking of the local market they live.8) Class A is relatively easy to manage, can even be DIY remote managed from another state.

Originally posted by @Zacharias Salva:On my long drive from Kansas City to Texas, I happened to listen to a TED talk on the subject of investment in Africa, in which the speaker alluded heavily to the real estate potential in South Africa.
