It's great to see your enthusiasm for diving into real estate investing, especially with the BRRRR method.

So yes, it’s very possible to invest in U.S. real estate while living abroad.Here are a few key things to keep in mind:U.S.

There's a great local investment group in your area called RPOA.Suggest attending their meetings to get this info.

But there’s a lot to consider before you take the plunge.

We (me and my wife) have always had a lot of dogs and have struggled in years past to find places to rent with dog friendly landlords.

I've seen this with STRs in Colorado as well.Tenants rights advocates might be happy how Airbnb handles these things (and I'm not a tenant hater, by any means), but I do like the comfort of keeping the deposit in our hands, not the hands of a third-party neutral.

There are companies that do studies to give you an idea of what the demand is but they will charge you a hefty price for a report.

You will not be able to get a mortgage most likely for the unpermitted work, as title insurance will be challenging- you would need to go to a private or hard money lender in this situation. 

My wife and I are new to the forum and community (long time podcast listeners), interested in finally breaking through and buying our first rental property!

@Jesus Schwoerer 2-4 units allows conventional and FHA mortgages, which do require you to owner-occupy one of the units for the first 12 months, but only require 3-5% down!
