Aside from the general enduring explosive situation in the Middle East, Qatar has been the victim of an economic embargo imposed by its own former allies from the Gulf.I'm left wondering whether it's worth investing in a place with all these risks, where I don't get equal legal with the locals under the law and all this to make a return of maximum 8 to 15%.The tax advantages sound great but they are of little benefit to US citizens and residents and to residents of most countries, given that they have to pay taxes on their worldwide income regardless of the tax laws in Qatar.

GREATEST FAILURE YOU ENDURED?

@Larrian DavisDepends on what your definition of terrible is :)I’m an US military veteran as well, with campaign medals, so have endured some suck.

A total of 11,673 U.S. properties endured foreclosure filings — including default notices, scheduled auctions or bank repossessions — in October, a 20 percent increase from September, but still down 79 percent from a year ago, according to a report released Tuesday by Attom Data Solutions.Nationwide, one in every 11,683 housing units had a foreclosure filing in October 2020.

I understand that ill need to put in more effort and endure more risk to get the first right of refusal because ill need to find someone who is in growth mode and probably means less experience.On the note of specifying criteria, I have that; 1500 sq ft or under, single story, at least 3 bedrooms, 10k sqft lot or under nothing built before 1960, etc.

Throughout the 10-15 minutes I had to endure, here are the assumptions he made:I’m not a real estate agent (I am)I have no idea what comps are (I do) I don’t know the area I’m buying the house in (I do)I had no idea what criteria to look for in a fix and hold property (I know exactly what I’m looking for and found this driving for dollars)I hadn’t done my due diligence on the property or what it would take to fix it (I have) I didn’t understand what ARV is (I do) I haven’t already determined with a contractor approximately how much it will take to repair the house I’m purchasing (I have) Since I’m clearly uninformed (because I’m a woman?)

I've read some of the responses to this subject and some of you are just ridiculous with this mentality.1) You shouldn't post your property available for rental IF you still have current tenants occupying the property, for this reason alone, it's on you the landlord to ensure the property is available for showing and why would you expect  candidates of future renters will have to endure the inconvenience of you as the landlord not prepared fully to show the property?  

Not a 1 has shown 100% efficacy which is a fancy medical word for "works", that alone clarifies this will endure.   

There are a few ways to find deals but they all require endurance and consistency Talk to any and everyone you know and tell them you are looking for a home to invest in. 

Especially around how well they last in the direct sun and inclement weather.
