Real Estate Principles Applicable Worldwide
I've been on BP for a couple of months now digesting a ton of information and am very thankful for it. Right now I'm working on constructing a short-term rental with a coffee shop.
I was just wondering if most of the principles taught here applies to most of the countries in the world?
For context, I am from the Philippines and the situation here may be different than in the US so I am wondering if some or most of the things taught here can be applied in our country. There may be some differences (particularly in processes, most here are too slow) but hopefully not much of a difference that we can't do the same things most successful people here do.
