Last but not the least, A VERY good property manager who can educate you on a market, help you form a strategy, fit right into your due diligence process, and execute on a clear takeover game plan as soon as you hold title! 

To do so you need to establish self-directed IRA first, then rollover funds, then you can buy property in the name of your IRA.

I am from Brazil and will start to do some house flipping this year through a company my fiancé and I established in the USA.

This is where you're going to have to establish a trustworthy boots on the ground type of teammate. 

If you are using HML then that should be good to start with and put some skin in the game but you have to know how to negotiate your HML. 

As more and more tourist income comes from non-gaming activities at least it's less dependent on gambling.  

I am not yet in the game but plan to be very soon.

Most of our neighborhoods are old and well established (well, one's with foreclosures are mostly).

Then drive during rush hour and go to pro games or any event that attracts a 40 plus crowd.

I'm new to the game, I would definitely appreciate this kind of help from someone with  more experience.
