And when I bought under LLC, its not mine.Now that I'm with investor friendly company with different culture, who actually want me grow my business, It means I can also grow my LLC ;) When I can openly market my LLC I got the credibility I needed to gain confidence from my clients.

I think is the culture of the business.

Compared to the US, Ireland is size of a football pitch and we have to reach for our passports to go anywhere which is why it's hard not to meet well traveled Irish people, something we take for granted.There are some hotel chains including Radisson and individual hoteliers who consider the kind of industrial location you refer to as a niche market and there are plenty of instances where hotels have been extremely successful commercially locating in such areas.

@James Wise I'm drawn to asia for more cultural reasons than any financial standpoint.

Easy access to bars and clubs and cultural amenities in Uptown and Downtown MPLS etc.I can't speak to the suburbs, I don't want to live there so I have not done any research.

Plus, I think with the university here, we have more cultural amenities than exists in Kokomo. 

It is geographically and, to a degree, culturally insulated from the rest of Utah.  

The time difference, cultural issues and language might be other considerations to deal with some foreign investors. 

The area where we both own properties is heavily Hispanic, so speaking Spanish and understanding the culture really helps.
