While I could write a whole dissertation as to way, I have no appetite to enter into a kind of discussion in which too often egos become prevalent over helping one another.What I would do if I was in your position is to ask about investing in the US to somebody who actively invests there and ask about investing overseas to somebody who actively invests in Europe and the Caribbean and then draw your own conclusions.

There are various other items that may come up such as: Proper firewall suppression, adequate entrances/exits for fire safety, stair safety, size of kitchen appliances, etc... for my specific example. 

I won't buy into anything that I don't think will cash flow though - that's beyond my risk appetite. 

The ideal home price for you will depend on: 1) downpayment size 2) risk appetite, 3) preference for more cash flow or appreciation.Given our price points, our investors need to have 35-45K to start, on average.The typical cash-on-cash return on our properties net of loan payments, insurance, taxes, and property management fees is 6-8%.Ultimately, you can obtain financing from any lender, although we have partner lenders that can provide very competitive rates.

Different investors have different tastes, risk appetites, and long-term goals.

Actually, since 2016 up till this year TN fire marshals office was doing all inspections of new builds in Sevier County which required fire suppression/sleep more than 12.  

Instead of attempting to suppress rents artificially, my approach focuses on a sustainable, market-based strategy with a long-term horizon.Here’s how I see this working:Leveraging Time, Scale, and Institutionalization:Similar to how farmland has been institutionalized, leveraging scale and time can be powerful tools.

My risk appetite is 80%.

Some investors have an appetite for 3% (low risk) buys, like a Walgreen's parcel.
