It’s also an appreciation play which is somewhat gambling.

I am sure that a ton of people will jump on me about saying that property prices will go up as being gambling, but look at the chart @Amit M. posted... it is straight up accurate.

U have the Cash flow is the only reason to invest crowd and appreciation is gambling and then you have the  cash flow is just a place setter while my prime asset goes up in value based on a location and desirability IE no social issues like you describe. 

Yes I would bring a small claims suit if you have a few hours and want to gamble the $100 or so to do it.

Hong Kong is even more expensive because it has become a tax haven for the chinese in a new type of account called the offshore RMB.

Too much unsophisticated money or international money.It could appreciate but I consider that gambling.

You’ll never need local property management services as long as you have your own cleaners, Handyman, and optionally a good errand runner/Taskrabbit/caretaker for the little things.Then hire an offshore virtual assistant to manage and schedule everything, and you have yourself some easy passive income 😊😊

I edited it slightly - been up awhile working offshore lol I mean I guess you could buy a property that doesn't need much rehab with a conventional loan, put 20% down, take a hard money loan (or use your own money) for the rehab.

Offshore wind has finally come to america and states on the east coast like new york nj and all the way down the coast are procuring large contracts to build these types of projects.

If she thinks it is just a hobby, or worse, gambling, then you need to take a lot of time to discuss it before beginning.
