Can someone explain something about the buy, borrow, die concept of avoiding income taxes? 

Buy a property (1-4 units).

The country is great for lifestyle and I believe most American (and other foreigners) buy for lifestyle.

If you buy in a prime location with desirable amenities, you’re setting yourself up for steady income and long-term growth.

It normally doesn't cost you any money to open and to be able to access that large amount of equity to buy or stabalize your current portfolio allows you so much more opportunity costs.For instance, I took a $200K LOC out on my primary residence when I first started in real estate.

Hello everyone,My business partner and I are considering buying in Niagara Falls as a short term rental investment and we'd love to speak to someone there running a vacation rental.

If you have some capital, income, and decent credit, buy a 4-5 bedroom house and rent bedrooms. 

.- **BRRRR (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat):** This strategy can be lucrative, but it requires careful planning and execution.

Leverage  anything in the US  so you can  use the cash to buy in CR  ( US home / 401K / other assets ..etc)  ...pura vida !

Would this be a good opportunity for someone looking to buy/hold?
