It spans across 10 acres and boasts roughly 4 acres of mature vineyards, a single-family residence, parking lot, pool, wine tasting room and cellar, multiple smaller structures (barn, storage, garage), and beautiful landscaping.

Hi Bigger Pockets Members,I am new here and I got here because I'm looking to step into the real estate worldI have 4 years of history most of which were working on data and analytics and almost a year of it was in inbound deal review and underwriting for commercial real estate buy and hold dealsAfter hopping around and tasting a few angles in the business world I strongly believe that real estate is something I love and am skilled to do. 

You need to know your target market just like you would in the US, local laws and rules, local renter's tastes and you need to take into account the added complexity of taxation in multiple countries.

There are seductive looking opportunities in the Midwest, for those with a taste for out of state ownership, but having cash reserves for third party management led repairs and turns and evictions makes it a safer place to own.If it were reasonably doable, people would be doing it--vs dreaming it.If your goal is $1M net worth, begin working diligently towards it.

I also spruced up the first and second floor to suite my taste.

Long story short, I'm a new investor (5 SFH so far in North Carolina) and have been acquiring buy/hold property which is quite slow for my taste so I decided to try my hand with value-add investment.

Because the places that are the most popular/profitable for short-term rentals are generally the ones where you'd want to spend time as well, unless your tastes are very different than those of the majority of the population.A US person can open a bank account with a bank overseas if two conditions are met: 1) the bank has to offer the service and 2) you have to have legitimate reasons to open the account.

As a result, guests are getting a bad taste in their mouth because they can sense when someone is just in it for the returns, and not focused on creating an incredible guest experience. 

Now... the real cost of real foods went up around 23% over the last 5 years, odd are with global warming and the wacky weather it brings the cost of foods are going to keep going up significantly in the next 40 years and beyond (yeah every one wants to pretend global warming is a myth as island nations are disappearing and New York is building floating real estate today to contend with rising oceans by 2020, and all those folks making a fuss over GMO food are not going to be to high and mighty to eat a mushroom that taste like steak when beef goes up to $25 a lb) so that whole dafy "Lump Sum" thing with retirement accounts don't account for that.

Great taste in music.
