It's 2 properties, single family homes, in the SF Bay Area.Sharing some details that might help inform the decision, let me know if anything else would be relevant.One property fully paid off, generates between $20-30k in profit after expenses (property taxes, hoa, insurance, etc).The other property is our current primary residency and would operate at a loss of about $10k/year.I plan to travel back to the US at least once a year, could that be a deductible expense with an LLC?

I am an ABQ native but have traveled the world and lived on the east coast for 11 years.

Although a bank or insurance company would fit nicely into Berkshire’s existing platform, Canada does have restrictions on foreign ownership of those assets – so my bet would be either an energy or utility-oriented opportunity (plenty of them in Alberta) or perhaps a significant stake in Alimentation Couche-Tard, which owns the Circle K brand and has a significant global presence, potentially meshing nicely with Berkshire’s recent purchase of Pilot Flying J.This year, I had the pleasure of travelling to Omaha with some friends from New York University’s Real Estate Development program and got to catch up with old friends from all over the world.Alas, my favorite Buffett-ism from the meeting was "Understand that the market is there to serve you, not instruct you".

They just can’t work part time buy a new phone ever three months and be a world traveler.

I plan to travel down there next weekend (about 3.5 hours away), so I am gathering all the necessary info.If I did cashout refi on my current property, i can pull out $155k towards this but will be left with an additional 45k or so if doing 80 LTV, which is why I am leaning toward seller carry a second mortgage.Lenders out there, now you have my deal, can you do it?

I think it would be really cool to own an AirBnB in multiple places that I would like to travel to.

Plans to were announced last month to invest $2B into the cities airport in anticipation of the population/business travel growth. 

While demand has softened slightly this year, (due to cruising or overseas travel) the travel industry is confident that next year will be particularly strong due to the opening of Universal’s Epic Universe theme park and new Disney attractions.
