Why is this lease 100 pages?

Most are relatively the same.

I have good connections in the industry, and have a close relative who is a real-estate agent in the area.

Currency pegged $2BZD to $1USD (low inflation issues), Official language is English since it was a British Commonwealth, Property rights and laws are basically the same as the US since English based, 2nd/3rd world thus still Rough which I like (has flavor), 2 hour flight from Houston/Dallas connections, land is relatively inexpensive.

Dan, I appreciate the thoughtful response, many things to consider and certainly a lot of great information.For the expenses, yes at 33% I would agree it is a little thin.You bring up some great points as it relates to opportunity cost and the payback period with a large down payment.

can anyone relate to me being tempted to chill out and do nothing?

A link to FilePlace is at the bottom of every page, making it easy to find.If you have technical issues, email [email protected], and someone will help you.

Being relatable is important maybe not for a tax expert but for an advisor with collaborative relationships it is very helpful.     

Tornado, wind, hail, flooding if in a low spot, general weather related.

I'm not the fair housing landlord expert but I'd probably steer away from referring to it as "veteran housing"Either way I can relate to your situation a little because I also own a house that is shared by multiple people.
