I have knowledge of those states.

@Steven Hamilton II I just want to say how impressed I am with your knowledge and professionalism.

It's kind of like index fund investing vs. having a Bloomberg terminal and advanced knowledge.

When I maintained my position that I wouldn't be paying 10K up front, Dmitri then insulted my section 8 investing knowledge and suggested that if I wasn't ready to move forward, then it was because I didn't understand enough about section 8 to begin with.

Even if I use an attorney, I should still be armed with as much knowledge as possible.

Age: I think it will but you can minimize it by being knowledgeable, professional, confident, and fair.  

Knowledge is power:Thorough Inspections: Minimize surprises with detailed inspections and due diligence.Strong Screening: Careful tenant selection reduces vacancy and headaches.Diversification: Spread your investments across different locations and property types to mitigate risk.Financial Planning: Maintain a buffer and choose financing options that fit your long-term goals.

Even the CEO's younger brother decided not to hang around - whatever his reasons are - it's too late for him unless he returned all the money he took out and fully disclosed  every illegal act he has personal knowledge of BEFORE the SEC/FBI show up at his door.I referred the "fronter" to a whistleblower law firm, but who knows if he followed up.

To my knowledge, the problem with investing in Costa Rica is that there is no financing available.
