Makes it very easy to take advantage them:( Hi @Drew Sygit,My apologies - I'm a bit late to the party here but wanted to address your bullet point concerns:-We use internal models to forecast the total tenant roommate demand per zip code - and are mindful to not oversaturate a given area.  

Larger cities offer better infrastructure, such as international airports, interstate highways, and a broader talent pool, making them attractive to businesses and tenants.Avoid Rent ControlRent control laws can hinder your ability to adjust rents to match inflation, limit tenant screening, and complicate evictions.

H there, I'm a certified international property specialist and while i don't personally specialize n Costa Rica,  have several colleagues who do.  

Most people who invest internationally invest in short-term rentals and, unsurprisingly, that's what Mark is asking about.

But it takes time and energy from internally motivated people who take responsiblity.

Take some money and invest in traveling to places in the U.S. and international markets that interest you.

Offered to intern/work for him at half the pay as his personal assistant if he would teach me everything he knew.

They are a new international mortgage lender in Costa Rica.

I have many international clients in search of property but want to invest in the U.S. just need a realtor to guide them, so I'd be happy to connect and swap info.

If the project is in Canada then I would look to an attorney that understands international law as it could be more complex.Personally for something along the lines of what you are doing I would look to partner with another developer vs trying to raise the capital as that will be less labor intensive.
