Other comment is spot on.

I think @Jack Medford is spot on.If you ever visit Milwaukee, let's connect.

On the surface it sounds like a good idea with little risk.But my grandfather invested in Honduras for a rental/vacation spot several years ago. 

I'm going to agree with everyone else on Tax Liens, and you can take it a step further by doing some due diligence on which states reward you the most for Tax Lien investing.I've been looking into:Florida: With interest rates that can hit up to 18% per year, Florida is often seen as a prime spot.

[Not sure what @Henry M. means by 'day rate', there is no such thing with General Contractors, must be doing small jobs with pick-up laborers]And yes @Alan F. is spot on...there are way more investors that screw up a project...no idea how to screen Contractors, no idea how to do their job right on a remodel (have clear objectives and don't change them, then stay out of the way)

Ohio markets show up 3 times in Zillow’s 2024 hottest markets, with Columbus and Cincinnati taking the top 2 and 3 spots.

@Shawn Mcenteer, your last sentence is spot on.
