If you have a PM lined up see what they might have to say about other rentals they are taking care of in the area ( I.e. section 8 rent they are getting, ease of finding tenants, etc.)You never know where people want to live in this city-near relatives, favorite schools, etc.

Ease of taxes (added to your personal return)4.

For people looking to get into MF, I suggest they try their hand at the small units first, to get an idea of the changes involved and ease into it.

I invest out of state and this has been key to my success so far and ease with the process.

It also eases their fear that you might be someone they can trust. 

They know what we look for in a rental and bring them to our attention, it's great.As far as the turnkey/network buying:PROS for BUILDER:  (1) Source of qualified buyers, often 1031 exchange buyers  (2) Builder knows what RE investors and renters want, builds to that standard -- floorplans, amenities -- no change orders to deal with  (3) Investors don't have the contingency to sale current home (4) Save on marketing time and costs, no open houses, flat referral fee to network, no agent/broker fees (5) I would think investors are easier to work with, less drama (that's speculation, lol)PROS for BUYER:  (1) Builder already vetted, although you're foolish not to do your own legwork  (2) Buyer's network has some clout, the builder doesn't want to mess up that relationship so more responsive (3) Usually other investors you can network within that market to vet the area, builder, the management company (4) Ease of transactionIn JAX/Ocala we've found  RWN affiliate quality is outstanding, good workmanship, desirable floorplans, quality granite, stainless. 

Is the ease of buying a property easy for foreigners?

I'm not saying that everyone from Serbia will dislike everyone from Bosnia and or vice versa, but I can tell you from experience that there are some tensions there.

I will be going to a new city and will not have this luxury so wanted to see what others had to say to ease my uncertainty or to validate why I am uncertain. 

I’m sure I can hire my own VAs for cheaper but am looking for a balance between ease/efficiency and cost.
