But to be honest, I am not looking to become a millionaire, I am just looking to add 3k USD to my residual income with US realty and then my canadian stuff will do the rest and I can retire at 40 ;)Also looking at Irish land too to get EU citizenship ;) but that's another game.

At a minimum want a visa but most require citizenship.

Indeed, Americans are taxed by on their citizenship or US residency status by the IRS and they're still liable to pay taxes in the US on their worldwide income wherever they happen to live outside of the country.

@James G.The minimum down payment depends on your citizenship and the lender. 

But if something like that happened I will quick claim the property under my kids names since they were born in DR and hold dual citizenship and they will pay my wife and I monthly salary.Cost of management is 10% and they normally take one of the two-three deposits as form of finding the tenants.

Some countries you need to have citizenship, some you cannot own only lease, some may be tough to find good management, local tax implications, etc.I love Europe (I have heard, Spain and Ireland are friendly to foreign investors), South America, Croatia, Thailand, Carribbean, etc...Any advise or direction would be great!

No home and they are living in your apartment, that means you are abuse the rules of bringing someone in your apartment to give them shelter.3) Before any guests can be put on the lease, background will be check make sure this person is U.S citizenship or have legal resident here in USA.

He has dual citizenship.

We have dual citizenship in Peru and I can tell you we would get nothing near 3 percent and cash is still king.Most is cash and property taxes are cheaper though in Peru at least there is always another document to get stamped or whatever.

It sounds like overall a solid team you can trust is key along with an attorney who can help navigate the waters for those who don't have Mexican citizenship.
