I own a single family home in Socal that my wife and i currently living in.

Starting to research Uruguay to invest and as a 3rd country to live in.

This will get you 90% of the way there and should be sufficient.It works the same in a saturated area, it's just more to sort through.You are aware that STRs in Denver are allowed only in certain zones and you must live onsite?
