Hello,My name is Eric, and I am in the beginning stages of a small 8 unit real estate development in Costa Rica.

I am in the early stages of looking at it right now.

Your aunt gets cash, pays gains over time with the value of those distant deferred tax dollars being worth less, she has interest income and you can arrange the loans to be coordinated to pay off if necessary for any events.

the loan will be in Tom's name (not his company name).Tom will order materials, arrange contractors, pay monthly mortgage/utility bills.Jim will provide the $15,000 in cash needed to rehab the property.Tom = $6,000 initial cash (plus) time = $6,000 cash outlayJim = $6,000 initial cash (plus) $15,000 rehab cash = $21,000 cash outlayQuestion #3 - how would the deed read?

Well, talked to a popular DJ here and I was cutting up a bit with some of my odd humor and he says he wants me on his show as a regular, I get some stage name you know, otherwise I wouldn't do this for fun.I'm doing a bunch of one minute rants, as an uniformed older guy that basically has the wrong facts, kinda like a Gilda Radner, never mind..... or maybe a straight guy really ticked off about something no one would ever give a second though to.I need some subject matter guys, help me out here.

We originally planned on approaching other landlords/owners to use their properties to test our software, but in the end decided such arrangements would be too cumbersome in the early development.

If a wall is damaged, advise the Landlord who will arrange to have it repaired.4.

Perhaps staging would help?

I'm assuming the furniture is staged.

Because you'd likely be paying a GC more than this anyway, this arrangement is fair -- your employee gets paid, but the total cost of the rehab is reduced by not hiring an external GC.
