I will summarise my learnings to date and share a little about the process/rules I have developed here to hopefully be successful in REI in the Portuguese market.

They aren't looking for 10% returns and they probably love the idea of getting some cash legally out of Canada.I got into Costa Rica because of the country (it's awesome), what's happening to real estate prices there and in the US (they are nuts here) and the amount of development that's happening around Potrero, the technology advancements in the STR industry, proximity to the beach etc.

More like  2X to 5X the cash out.. these are done with builder developers on their deals So put out 300k get 300k back in profit plus the interest rate. most small builders/ developers need to have a equity partner so you just do both you lend the money and are the equity partner.. pretty clean..

(FYI - this was an SB9 "two unit development, not an SB9 lot split). 

And our flagship development US item, Japanese style toilets in the USA..... ai powered!

Network with experienced investors, choose a real estate strategy, research markets with job and population growth, learn financing options, familiarize yourself with property management, develop a long-term plan, and leverage your stock experience to evaluate markets and trends.Good luck!

I have a close associate with a large project there and the local banks have turned off the spick-et on funding his developments and these are very large multi thousand acre deals.

Tons of growth coming all over town with new developments constantly, plus the weather is great 9 months out of the year!

After a while you’ll develop a knack for figuring out who really knows what they are talking about and who is just full of it.Company Websites.

Because this property is located in midtown historic district of Sacramento, we feel there may be market for both MTR and STR, but first thing is we will target LTR and let 3 or 4 units filled in.When we first start developing this apartment from ground up, it was intended to flip and move on to the next project, with timing and interest rate etc.. we deiced to keep it as a cash cow for a while and see how things go.
