So thats my advice, listen to the podcasts often, read the books ('Rich Dad, Poor Dad' is a classic starting point, I also recommend 'Hold, How to Find, Buy, and Rent Houses for Wealth'), and start seeking out professionals and form your "team."

Last shelling on the border by Russian artillery was in 2008, but they did not attack Tblissi.Istanbul is mostly a citizenship deal, tax is high.Panama and Dubai are 2 classic nomad destinations where real estate oversupply mean that rents tend to decrease with time.

The classic MAO (maximum allowable offer) formula (here on BiggerPockets calculators, e.g.) uses 30%. 

I was actually hoping you would help me make sure I didn’t screw something up.â€This is classic psychology on option 2.

@Caitlin Daniel I would go back to the classic saying of "Don't wait to buy real estate, buy real estate and wait."

My goal is to make a good deal not find one something like a value add, in this case, I mean rehab and re-purpose an existing building.

This is like investing in classic cars. 

This upcoming establishment, part of the successful Vida & Estilo Restaurant Group, draws inspiration from 1950s Cuba, blending authentic Cuban flavors, classic music, and nostalgic memorabilia.

Anyways, you're buying a lease with a building attached, so you need to verify both, especially what "outs" the lease allows and can the building be easily re-purposed if the tenant leaves.I guess DSTs would work and they seem to be available in any case, however, the guys selling them usually are stock brokers and know not much about the underlying investment, so you need to do legwork and verify returns and the potential.

The plan is to do a classic live in flip, BRRR, and then move on to the next property.
