Rodrigues is an awesome LOCAL lender, who works a lot with foreigners.

Not sure why you feel that is a ridiculous concept unless you much rather see foreign entities and developers procuring farmland for other ventures. 

Your foreign made you deposit.2.  

I offered to buy the property from the $28B foreign company which kept them from having to tear down the buildings to mitigate the vagrant problem and also from their obligation to pay the rail road for the long term lease.

Switzerland does impose some restrictions on foreign and non-residents buying property but you can still buy and several members of my family actually own property there.

Having lived there a year it is a foreign country and many things are different and culture etc plus you have the native peoples that own huge amounts of real estate and They dont pay income tax and they get food and gas for way cheaper etc etc..

Mind you, with mortgage interest rates in the US being so much higher now (and seemingly for the foreseeable future), I wouldn't be surprised if LTRs in Europe would cash flow better than in the whole US nowadays (to be verified).This being said, I don't and would never invest in LT rentals outside of North America  as I wouldn't want to face unfavourable landlord/tenant laws as a foreigner.

Most of us don't think to "diversify" in other fields or arenas, much less in a foreign country!
