I was a college athlete whenever I learned about BiggerPockets and really started my investing career.

They are a new international lender in Costa Rica that offers cash out refis.

They have close family in the area they invest, perhaps even living in the investment property itself like their child who is a college student and rents other rooms in the house to friends, or their sibling or parent.

It's Dec. 2024 and, while the house is built, septic still needs to be installed, exterior grounds, and internal trim and appliances are yet to be completed. 

Information of the taxation treatment for foreign investors can be found herehttps://www.ato.gov.au/Individuals/International-t...4.

International rentals are cheaper too to purchase. 

Note, I speak of this as an immigrant household.To expand on #3; international trade is good.

Both are digital-first banks with minimal fees, and Mercury in particular offers free domestic and international wire transfers for most account holders.

Real estate's "gross rent multiplier" is Wall Street's "sales to revenue",  "cap rate" is roughly "P/E ratio".When evaluating markets and investments I tend to start with GRM (or lazily the 1% rule), then attempt to return a cap rate based on assumptions about costs, then I work my way to multiple years of projections (assumptions about inflation, amortization, tax benefits, etc), and if I am partnering with one of my smart friends I have to pull up an IRR (internal rate of return).I also look at regional employment levels, median income to rent ratio in the zip code etc. 

I like Winter Garden, Maitland, SoDo, College Park, Longwood/Casselberry.
