Make yourself unique, update your cabin, get creative and hang on….I admire your gamble of being leveraged in the smokies.

I'm currently representing a client who is in need of financing for an offshore real estate venture.

I think BlackRock should be the poster boy for the what I would argue is a rigged economy, and this dude and the rest of them should not be admired or looked up to they are the ones responsible in my view for so many of the problems we see in inner cities, demographic challenges, off shoring of good jobs etc.I feel better now!  

But it would be safer than trying to gamble in a gentrifying neighborhood in Atlanta for us beginners.

For those who might be unfamiliar, this approach lets investors leverage their stock, bond, and other securities portfolios as collateral to secure a loan, all without liquidating any assets.I've worked  with a handful of clients utilizing this method to facilitate their offshore property acquisitions.

If you have good tenants who pay on time and you want to kick them out to seek market rents because you have NOT incrementally increased rents to keep within reach of market rents, then you are gambling with the next tenant and their true ability to pay rent. 

My personal feeling is that if you are new to this, this is a huge gamble and if I were your coach/mentor/Guru(evil guy from what I understand on the forums), then I would not recommend it for you based on the info I have here.

Is it safe to assume that you use off shore agents?

I later found out a family squabble led to the sale of the parent's house I was buying and a brother lived there with a gambling problem. 

However; it's very rare to get that if you don't have any kind of track record, as they are gambling that you're going to get a construciton loan and be able to build the project at the price you say you can, and finish it in the time frame.
