My best advice would be to begin networking as much as possible and find a mentor.You've already taken the first step which is gaining knowledge.

Here are some insights to help you navigate this:1.

This risk here far outweighs any small gains in ranking. 

So the initial appraisal for the refinance was good at the time, but now the As-Is is not gaining traction with buyers.

Many of them use RE crowdfunding platforms to gain more exposure.  

If Costa Rica gives more capital gains like you suggest (which I doubt given how pricey it already is), he's going to get them with his own property and he'll ba able to take advantage of it without needing anybody's consent.I think the question is whether you can lure a lifestyle buyer into seeing it as a better opportunity than if he'd own his own property. 

Thanks for the insight.

Make sure this enough gains to make it worth worrying about.

By working for a larger corporation you are gaining an unfair advantage, by letting them train and develop you (while you are getting paid) and you do real estate on the side.This idea is not from me, read RichDad. 

Hey @Morgan Iacolucci, @Pat Aboukhaled has some great insights here, and I really agree about locking down that buy-back clause right away.
