With the exception of a few cities and areas, Italy is one of the rare places where tan estate prices have been going down over the last 15 - 20 years.

It creates far more visibility into the company's operations, their investment decisions, etc.And lastly, you get to the overall ability of the sponsors.  

Also, SAAS platforms are supposed to include support and service (that's the last S), but the quality varies greatly from company to company. 

I have a program nationwide that does NOT require GC to sign anything, only provide proof of 3 C/O's (certificate of occupancy) over the last year I.e. built received occupancy permission now unit is on market or habitable.  700+ FICO I can get you 80%LTC loan to cost on the project on ground up construction for 1-4 units. 

Last year we began testing different places by staying in Carrillo and Junquillal with day trips to a lot of other nearby beaches. 

During the time deployed (last 4 yrs), I rented the home.  

I have invested in real estate casually in the last several years, and am looking to step up my game by learning from those willing to help, and succeeding with real estate. 

If you can get the first month, last month, and a deposit, even better.

It seems a traditional sale gobbles up half of it in closing costs.We refinanced early last year, and another refi would cost ~$5k, plus w/ the LTV, I don't think the numbers work out just right.Too bad we were too naive to even consider those offers when they were handed to us.

STR is a bit weird because the Covid travel demand pushed the price hardcore for the last few years.
