Isn't it like you're suggesting somebody to do something (investing in Costa Rica instead of the US) while you (the experienced investor in Costa Rica) does the exact opposite with your own money?

My suggestion is to simply file the BOI requirement.

I recently watched a video of a social media guru suggesting in 30 days he could have a team in place in any market in the country and be up and running with a successful real estate business.

I am always fully transparent and the owner in that situation is a long standing business associate that knows my character, experiences and background, strengths and weaknesses included.

Here are a few suggestions on how you can maximize the wealth of information available: Check out the blogs and podcasts, or take advantage of the search feature (magnifying glass).

@Kyle TrotmanI would suggest speaking to local banks, and credit unions.

I suggest a neutral tone when you send your letter and hope for the best.

Not to say that you'd pick crappy materials, but contractors with experience have manufacturers and suppliers that they know guarantee their products and that helps them know they can stand behind their work. 

I would love to connect to one if anyone can suggest any. 

Any other suggestions -- what about Detroit, MI?
