Real Estate Exchangors we’re big then, and people were doing up to 8 party exchanges, with throw away lots, 2nd lien no equity notes being paired with cash to obtain (usually) another problem property.

When paired with rising home prices, this represents a headwind for sales going forward.

(tax benefits or for currency inflation reasons), then that's entirely different and altogether a different discussion. :)

However, we do have an accountant look over everything once a month as a precaution and a second pair of eyes. 

In the aftermath of Financial Crisis of 2008, people were expecting Financial Armageddon and we would return to our ancient ways of not using fiat currency ("not worth a continental").

A typical "pan" for a standard 40 gallon water heater costs under $30; flexible copper connectors are about $30 for a pair; "code upgrades" tells us nothing.

So you have a huge currency risk there.

I have been investing internationally for RE companies for 10 years across Europe and the USMy take away about France is as follow:pros- relative market stability for the past 20 years- stable currency (€)cons- highest taxes to GDP in the world (capital gain taxes, transfer tax, income tax etc)- extremely complex / opaque tax system- widespread corruption around high profile transactions and construction permits - 3 months transaction close due to high regulation burden - local authorities have first look right to purchase the property you have under contract.

I'm primarily focusing on small multi-family right now, but open to single family.I was hoping I can just get an extra pair of eyes that I can run some deals by to make sure I am actually doing it right.

One of the things that I will be doing to help pay my $45,000 loan payment a year is hosting investor masterminds and investor retreats where we pair learning about real estate with exploring Costa Rica and doing some awesome excursion.
