When you said  "New Construction" I was assuming, wrongly" that you meant buying a newly constructed home and perhaps thinking you were getting some kind of bargain that created equity. 

Borrower has the 3% loan in place for the duration, and 14% investor can be paid off with increased rent in say 18 months.  

It's just that there's not more than enough places for everyone to live *exactly* where they want to live.

But it would be nice to have access to the software and a place to basically wholesale the ones you don't want for yourself.

As I suggested and you confirmed, the Côte d'Azur is a great place for capital gains but what I meant isn't necessarily where you're going to get high rental yields.What @Chris Magistrado mentioned represents a good depiction of the situation in Southern Italy.

@Matthew Paul: My dad wasn't meant to do real estate.

Not every house is meant to be flipped by us.

I think that’s what you meant to type.

Honestly, I never fully understood what they meant—until recently.I’ve been diving into some larger-scale real estate projects, specifically in commercial properties and multifamily development.

It’s a blessing (the reason you found real estate in the first place) and a curse (you probably get distracted easily on what asset class to focus on).
