A 1%- and 2%- rule property is hugely better in California compared to Costa Rica because you can leverage in California and you can't in Costa Rica (notwithstanding the fact the risk is higher in Costa Rica too so you'd actually expect a higher return there).

Not on their actual services!

Based on what my attorney provided, the plots aren't worth a ton of money, but since I haven't done a land deal I'm not sure if the actual sale price differs from what she got me.

If it's substantial enough, they may actually put effort into the search.

You can't be sure what a property actually sold for because they don't disclose. 

Any luck on motivating realtors in the area to actually get operating expenses/lease agreements for Jackson County specifically George?

I have actually changed directions with my investing since I posted that a year ago.

This may sound harsh, but I would actually put this on the tenant to get his rent payment back.

The reality is about a year ago landlords could sell their properties at a high price without actual NOI.

Others recommend tools like Stessa or Buildium to track actual costs and project future expenses.
