Different areas within the U.S. have different real estate markets. In order to find good rental cash flow, one has to move away from big cities - places, where house prices are low with respect to rents. This allows us to get superior returns on invested capital. Since these small cities attract less attention, one can find more opportunities in terms of market mispricing, too. Also, different states/localities have different laws and regulations making the same business model viable in one state and risky or impossible in another state.

We have purchased and rented out single-family and small multi-family houses (turnkey and with rehab), "flipped" and sold houses after renovation, and implemented the BRRRR method. We have financed our projects with conventional, commercial, and private loans. Additionally, we sold properties on the owner-financing terms and played a role of a private lender for other real estate investors. Currently, we are in the process of wholesaling and flipping land, as well as searching for our first commercial deal.

Yes, absolutely! In fact, most of our properties were purchased remotely. One can obtain a wealth of information from local MLS services, county websites, Google Street View, inspection reports, etc. In fact, staying away from investment properties helps focus investors' attention on the cold data instead of getting emotionally attached to the house they viewed in person. The key to success is, of course, a trustworthy team of people who will do your job on ground.

Yes, we do. We currently have several clients from Germany and Russia. The main difference between domestic and international investors is taxation and government compliance. While we do have some experience with investing from abroad, one is highly encouraged to consult with a qualified attorney before attempting a deal as a foreign person in the U.S. The attorney should be familiar with IRS rules for non-U.S. persons and entities, the taxation system in the country of the investor's residence, and tax treaties between the foreign country and the U.S.
