Perhaps I need to just flip the houses with the lowest possible transaction costs.

I mostly invest in mobile homes which are usually on the border Bexar county and drive atleast 30 minutes to find my deals. 

Credit scores didn't cross the pond, either, so there was no benefit to having good scores and no recourse after they left.  

That being said would it be wise of me for my first deal to do just a small transaction to get my feet wet?

I averaged about one transaction a year.  

I would register a corporation, roll your profits back into the corporation for future investments and avoid the cross border taxes.

Taxation is pretty much always going to be based on the nature and intent of the transaction.  

Particularly the restricted zone which is land within 50km of the coast or 100km of the borders requires property to be bought through a trust you cannot own it directly.

What you have to do is use what's called "transactional funding."

However, I don't like the idea of starting off owning property in another jurisdiction altogether, as I can't gain the hands-on experience and I'm sure there are some cross-jurisdictional tax implications that I'd rather not have to deal with at the moment.Any help that can be provided would be greatly appreciated.Thanks
