Newbies looking to invest from Rome, Italy

Hello All,

Newbies to REI here. Husband and wife team – me, Scottish and my wife American. We are currently based in Rome, Italy and looking to begin the journey of portfolio building in the U.S. where we will, sooner or later, move (though I don't currently have a green card) with the hope of REI substituting at least 1 salary within 2 years.

Short-terms strategy is to focus on (very!) out of state investing, most likely with SFH and MFH long-term rentals, though are open to other opportunities.

Look forward to engaging with the community here and interested in all and any comments or guidance you may have, but in particular with regards strategies on distance REI and legal and finance considerations as out-of-country investors.

Thanks and see you in the forums/FB group.

James and Elaine.
