@Erin Schenk I am an investor and real estate agent in Bakersfield and have considered out of state as well, but for me, I prefer Bakersfield becuase I manage my properties myself which increases my cash flow and cuts down on vacancies and repair costs. 

Since this tree is massive, it would likely cost $10K to cut it down. 

From a variety of podcasts I've listened to I hear about people always buying regardless of whether the market is "hot" or "not" but I'm under this impression that a majority of buyers are simply over paying. 

Does this seem out of line or simply outrageous compared to the size of the loan?

Obviously we don’t think the % should be split based on simply financial investment, because of our hands in involvement, but how do we adjust our % to make it a Win win, based on me negotiating everything and my partner locally here helping with everything in between?

I am not trying to discourage you I am simply trying to point out that unless you are starting out with a lot of cash getting to $10,000 a month within a year doesn’t seem likely.Good Luck, and keep us postedJJ

I’m not sure how the legal system handles leases and evictions over in Croatia and if they are in fact, simply “gentlemen’s agreements” that is unfortunate.

Original owner would have made a lot more profit if they had simply rented and then sold the RE after the outstanding appreciation. 

As landlords we would have a much more difficult time with an eviction than simply giving notice to a tenant in a month to month agreement that we aren't going to renew, correct? 

In this case, should I simply approach this as a purchase with a note payable upon completion of sale, or one year, with no interest and no lease payments.
