I didn't hear they sold out to venture capitalists.

Using that method you wouldn't need to look for Venture Capitalist.

Lots of bureaucracy and much less capitalist than the US (which is a good and bad thing). 

Your vision is wonderful but study the numbers.We live in a capitalist society & I like capitalism. 

There isn't a whole lot of international real estate investing books but this is an interest of mine that I have been trying to pursue so I ended up reading Nomad Capitalist and recently got The Cross Border Family Wealth Guide.

Along these lines, one of the greatest capitalists summarized his thoughts as "The secret to success is to own nothing, but control everything."

Money will always eventually trump good intentions in a capitalist environment.Personally I have no other motivation to work.

You can avoid taxation if your retirement account earns the income at least it's deferred.I never had an issue with making money and paying the taxes, it's the joy of making money in our capitalistic system!

Nightly prices dropped (a perfect example of the capitalist system, supply and demand) plus, property taxe classifications changed and became part of my expenses.
