I built one 2 years agot just under 3k sq ft but on a busy corner so it only brought 1.5  but that was the cheapest new build in Lake Oswego at the time that was not attached IE detached SFR.And in Vegas 3 mil while not brand new will buy you a pretty spectacular home..

You could try typing developer on to the search magnifying glass in upper corner.

Or the one before that of a close up of a corner of a white wall.... are you telling the viewer there in the corner?

It would be nice if you had a contact who was an actual mason not a marketer.  1930's construction is rare so maybe they cut some corners it was a global depression.  

Also, in regards to a per diem, I'd like to be a bit more optimistic that I can establish the right checks and balances to ensure that the contractor is not skipping corners.

If the forum is boring or repetitive for someone, find your own little corner and post what you want to post about.

But it bounced back okay in 2021 and boomed in 2022 so we decided to double down and get an older costa rican style property around the corner.

Some of the logistics are fuzzy as we would have to travel there regulary, get to have a great understanding of the cultural differences, build a 'team' of people as there are no Home Depots on every corner, but for about $50k US, you can own a pretty cool place in Italy.Best of luck to you!

Registration is just around the corner, use the link above to be the first to find out when registration opens to buy your tickets.

In short, don't cut corners and it will profit you later.
