When I quit I got trails and renewals for life, so at least it gave me a small income.However, I hung on for a year too long, got sick which cost me big time (un-diagnosed hemochromatosis - if you are Irish get tested), and then decided to go back to teaching to save the house and the family.

Being in a border town definitely requires cultural knowledge especially in business situations.

-Culture of the group - this is established by the leader.  

I'm an Irish online entrepreneur, and now want to start to build a long term rental business - as passive as possible - probably in Ireland.

Openly sharing what works and doesn't is the culture here on BP.

It can be made worse by culture of the person you are dealing with.

Any form of live work where you have retail on the ground and residence above is very rich culturally.

Hi Nick, I work with Keller Williams Preferred and their culture is amazing.

Have you considered setting up a business in Ireland promoting turnkey USA property to Irish people (profits taxed at 12.5%) and using the proceeds to fund your own buy and hold rentals?

And lastly but not least, company culture.
