Tips for Buying and Managing Long Distance Rental Property

Let's Talk Real Estate Investing with Sharon Vornholt

Buying and managing long-distance rental property has always been challenging for most investors. Typically, when we think of long-distance rental property, we are thinking about the property located in another state. My guest today, Billy Keels, has taken that one step further. Billy lives in Barcelona, Spain but he invests in the US in his hometown of Columbus, Ohio, and several other areas.

In spite of the geographic distance between him and his rental property, he has found a way not only to make it work but to build a successful and profitable business at the same time. His rental portfolio continues to grow as he teaches others how to achieve the same success he has attained.
