Hi @Jason Farr , a good cross border legal/tax specialist is Altro Levy.  

That roof job was not cheap.It's up to you if you want to gamble a low ball offer w/o knowing what kinds of sins are underneath that roof and tile.Can you get work done reasonably or will you get held up by high priced contractors?

GC / Westland on the border to Inkster are not good areas.

I am not saying people do not make money in stocks I just see those more of a gamble.

PS - I don't use an Illinois CPA because I use specialized cross-border accountants, but I've definitely seen some Chicago area CPAs recommended on BP.

Very affordable, super nice people (both locals and expats), close proximity to rivers, rainforests and ruins, as well as the Guatemala border for shopping and medical runs.

Only hold onto it long enough to break even and then sell.Even holding onto a property until the market recovers is a gamble in profits vs. loss.

For now think of investing dollars instead of exchanging dollars as a gamble -- the first factor.The second factor is that when a nation's currency becomes worth less, the value of the goods and services of that nation start becoming a lot cheaper to a foreign buyer.

To bet on appreciation is more closely akin to gambling than investing in my mind.
