Studying in Scotland, Portugal, and Colombia, I´ve come to realize this is a positive global trend but almost non-existent in the States.

One of my dreams has always been to build a global real estate network and spend time traveling to new destinations to evaluate markets, develop international networks, and learn more about the world.

Leaving out key facts such as the sellers could make a significantly more money to list FSBO or using an agent is completely different then getting into the minutia of how title and escrow works; or the intricacies of how a global supply chain and distribution network that was built over decades works. 

My current side-side hustle, Global Artisans, employs local refugees to make bags out of recycled vinyl banners.The BP podcast has already been a trove of knowledge and motivation, but I'm glad to finally raise my hand in here and pay forward the advice and support the BP veterans so willingly give.

I receive offers of various turnkey properties in the U.S. from Mike at Global (he seems to be based in the U.K.).

I was wondering how should I go about checking the transfer fee for the title company to help me make the change from my personal name to the LLC.2. are there any stamp tax involved, or capital gain tax involved (unsure if the state recognise that as a "sale").3.

I've fixed pretty much everything unless it was over my skill set (replacing capacitor on A/C system, for instance; landlord told me when I moved in it was okay to repaint or whatever as long as it improved the house), my neighbors love me - they've told him so; I've resodded the yard twice (FL grass sucks with a dog), had the landscape crew redo the trees in front so they look good, replanted flower beds (perennials), power washed the house every year after wet season ended, ensured the pest control worked...The BUT part ...As a sole practioning consultant (pre-IPO weakness remediation, large financial systems implementations, global audit recommendations for SEC registrants, etc.) at times during the last 3 years things have been sink or sink lower credit wise and the ID theft didn't help (apparently, I bought a car in GA and own some property in TX).

For instance, https://resolute.fund/ is a collection of distressed real estate that can be purchased globally.
