ThanksIt would be very difficult to accomplish this. 

Agree it is difficult to assess costs when they vary so much by location.Keep in mind that some turnovers are sickenly expensive, and that is just the nature of the business. 

@Shin Nishikawa Right now it is still difficult for foreigners to get financing from Japanese banks.

Following Up + More details: @carolineOur utilities were also opened using an LLC but since the power had actually been shut off the problem mostly came from ICE sending someone out to turn it back on plus installing a new style meter (which had to be approved by our HOA but that was another matter entirely and not particularly difficult).Opening a bank account with BCR as an individual is easy and you can get an atm card in about 3 days but you will be limited to holding only a thousand dollars in it.

I’ve never actually been legally owed money before so I was green on how to handle things while trying to be understanding and respecting other lifestyles and career choices.

I want to hear some stories on how other people got started and how easy/difficult it was.

Learn what people are doing right now in this difficult market and find a way to replicate their success.A lot of people say they are actively investing.

Finding a good account and bookkeeper wasn't difficult and using online registered agents was way more cost effective.

Early on in my career, I saw a close frend do something similar.. she borrowed from her circle to finance a rural fixer-upper, then paid them back once she refinanced after the rehab.I’m guessing that massive yard plus the barn is already a big selling point for your tenant, especially with a family that wants a little extra room for animals.

Knob and tube is very difficult to insure.
