I’m only annoyed because he’s making my life difficult. 

His entire approach was to try to make the entire process seem too difficult, but I should trust my money with him because he knows it all.

Not to be a jerk about it, but I've done my share of difficult things. 

It's difficult to be completely hands off on your first one because BRRRR and flips are active investment methods.

As the population continues to grow and more high income earners move here to work at Toyota, Boom, etc. the average purchase price will continue to rise making it even more difficult for first time buyers to break into the market.

If you brought a bad deal because you brought on emotion, learn to take emotion out of the situation and research the numbers more to know what is a good deal and what isin't.Look at the past sales(90 days) of the area that you are interested in buying.Understand what is a good price per square foot and know what streets are good / bad.The wealth in real estate are made when you buy and when you hold.If you buy bad, it makes it a more difficult process.Best of luck

Most hard money/DSCR lenders don't lend in South Dakota, so I can foresee a low closure rate on deals since financing will be difficult to get.

note investing is difficult here in the US and is a relationship business, I am sure there are mortgages you could buy in the UK but if you are just getting started, then trying to do note investing overseas to me would seem near impossible.

@Matthew C DominyLaws overseas and raising capital as you mention are 100% based on those laws - us laws may not apply - you will need several attorneys for thisTo be honest the chances of getting us investors to invest overseas in projects will be very challenging as they will have little to no protections.Just being upfront as it’s very difficult raising $ in the us - in another country makes it even harder

Capurgana is also much more difficult to get to.
