It's a good time to review markets, but living in China there are a lot of other closer, international markets that could be options as well.

I'm of the opinion that a property that cannot create $15-20k+ per year in rental revenue is going to struggle keeping up with maintenance and repairs.

Well it looks like non-profits are exempt....So I suppose Dope Traffickers will just buy an ongoing concern non profit and operate that with ownership as an IBC (International Business Corporation) in some privacy haven, or Russia, or Yemin or somewhere (if those places have privacy laws???)

Plus the 20%-30% more in gross revenue just goes towards utilities, furniture, etc.

Second Street is an international mortgage lender actively investing in Costa Rica.

It has taken some fine-tuning of my profile but for me and my market, the leads have been an incredible source of revenue, especially since 2020.

Also, the state of formation is likely where internal disputes would be brought among LLC members, so if you and a partner and/or spouse live in CA, you probably want to arbitrate in CA if the two of you had a disagreement.

My investments are all in the Twin Cities suburbs, but I have helped people with financing as far north as International Falls :) @Jeff Schemmel who do you know in the Duluth area?

Also, when you say you cleared $550k in revenue, where did that put you for your net profit?

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.
