I set out on a mission to fund a purchase of 4 SFRS all at once and finally found funding. 

What is you plan for financing this mission?

Not crazy about the "Mission Statement" - it sounds like a set of objectives, but a mission statement is usually more than that:http://www.wikihow.com/Write-a-Mission-StatementI stopped when I read that for step 1 you plan to be an owner occupant, but you are in Philadelphia but buying in Georgia.

I would not know the answers to your questions but I would be interested in how this compares to a Mission Beach already established vaca rental 3 unit for sale.

I consider my mission in life to warn others from nightmares of negative cash flow, working a job to keep the 'investment' afloat, collection calls, and Chapter 7. 

:lol: Now I just need an aircraft carrier where I can fly my "Mission Accomplished" banner...

The website makes it seem like its mission is more for representing the interests of the Asian RE community domestically, and not necessarily to cultivate overseas investment.

However, some non-profit organizations do not meet this exemption because they service loans, for a fee, from other associated non-profit lenders that are not considered “affiliates,” even though they operate under mutual contractual obligations to serve the same charitable mission, and use a common name, trademark, or servicemark.

I am in Mission Viejo and can meet at a Starbucks.

I remembered the book I read a few years back, Rich Dad Poor Dad, as I’m sure many of you are familiar with, and got me thinking of the possibilities of creating a passive stream of income to one, fund our mission here in Japan, and also set us up for the long run.Obviously there are challenges with doing real estate from the other side of the world but I am extremely excited and driven to not “want” this to work, but “will” make it work.
