I am looking to buy a couple properties within the next 1-2 months and wanted to know how I can close on a deal while I am living overseas?  I am in the military and stationed in England.

Is there a way to close the deal while still overseas?  Do I need to get closing documents notarized?  Could the title company email the documents to me and I take them to get notarized? Would a bank over here be able to notarize?  

Thanks for any help!

What do you use to analyze potential deals for rentals? I hear CAP rate is used a lot but I am interested to hear what all people include in calculating that because I have seen many people calculate it differently.

I see a lot of deals $20-$50k that rent for $500-1000/month

@Jerry W. , thanks for your take on things.

Good info.  Similiar strategy that I would like to do but i am building my capital right now.  What areas are you working for the investor?

@Javier Marchena ,

Explain the "buy & hold" situation again?  Can you use hypothetical example or #s?

I want to use Google Voice, but i am overseas for the next 2 yrs....

@Joe Villeneuve 

Good info, how did you educate yourself on the Detroit area well enough to prevent losing a lot of $$$.  I hear it can be risky because of how much Detroit is changing and how bad some areas are

how does Google voice work? I am an out of town investor.

@Jerred Morris 

flipping.  investor fronts entire cost while rehabber does all the work.  Once property sells both get paid..depending on the split that is decided (which is why i listed a few options above).

$108k cash flow off $2.5M seems a bit low...?
