I was able to look up the life estate deed from the appraisers office and read it.

Hi Aubrey,International lenders don't exist for real estate in that no lender in one country will give you a mortgage loan in another country.A good service to estimate revenue in Costa Rica or everywhere in the world for that matter is Aidna.

I initially had no clue to the comment so went to permit office.

Most PMC's will add extra fees to help the company make some extra revenue.

How quickly will the income from MTR revenue give you those MTR setup costs back?

It’s unfortunate as their loan officer was stellar.

The property itself should bring in revenue ( even if you choose not to live in one side) and generally a bank will accept a portion of that rental income into the calculation. 

Once that is ok'd by all parties then loan docs are generated and sent to title.Title sends the title docs to you or you can go to their office and sign. 

If you see at least a few zoned in the designations you mentioned above, that's potentially a good sign that you can get support from the local Alderman's office, and approval by the ZBA (zoning board of appeals), to rezone.

If they try to pay their labor as 1099 they run at great risk of violating a host of draconian labor laws such as AB5, the borello law and a litany of "misclassification" laws.There are substantial differences in how "right to work" statstate as operate as opposed to "non right to work" states.SBA defines a small business based on employees and revenue size.
