Quote from @Matt Wan: Can I purchase a property using a traditional mortgage without being physically present for any part of the process?

My tough today is different than my tough next week.Many new(er) investors struggle to manage their rentals well.

The combination of Germany's stable economy, well-regulated property market, relatively low interest rates, and the opportunity for long-term capital appreciation make it a compelling choice for U.S.

Quote from @David Young: My wife and I are new to this and are saving for our first property our goal is to start looking for properties in November 25, we have a couple questions, would it be wise to invest out of state for our first time investment (we do plan on physically going to see the properties to potentially invest in) ? 

Also, if you were in our position, what questions should we be asking the lenders to make sure it is a good fit?

Have you guys ever purchased a property without physically seeing it?

Not here to provide an  endorsement or be critical of the lenders on this list but volume is not by any means an indicator I would rely upon when selecting my banking relationships.

getting tighter but things may be changing soon depending on what the new prez does.  

How affective are physical mail cards with deal machine?

So, if you have 10 units and you are going to pay $1,500 a month and you are working on an active income job, too, this is an easy switch due to the labor mentally and physically (even if it is just phone calls) to get these rentals running as a well-oiled machine.
