I have been thinking of doing developement on a small scale in Costa Rica my self.

At that point Cosa Rica would look much greener.

Beside the US, Mexico and Canada, I have been to England, Scotland, Tahiti, Costa Rica, Panama, and Nicaragua.

I go above and beyond the normal mentoring with a boots on the ground if they are within 300 miles of me for the same cost as the mentoring.

. $99 is reasonable with no other monthly cost. As

A full-scale econometric model of the dynamics over time would be subject to massive abuse based on the variables used and would cost a ton.

I also love traveling and have been to Australia, Costa Rica, Dubia, London, Italy and Spain to name a few.Jeremy

I live out of state and has to rely on a property manager (so going to a carpet manufacture and installing myself is not an option) so I will accept the cost as long as it is not a total rip off.2.) in the long run (I am a buy and hold investor), which option should I choose?

@Jon CarterThere's one thing that's not spoken about here and that's dealing with terms deals that do not ta a lot of money and I would advise you to look at expired listings and talking to those people about selling on terms which doesn't cost a lot of money. 

It might cost a very small percentage of the job, but as long as you can use technology to put yourself on the job site and see the flow of the project and the progress, it is well worth it.
