yeah, the lack of internal and external controls boggles my mind.

But they are only one prong of the Internal Rate of Return. 

I just came back from the International Builders' Show in Las Vegas where Schlage had a big booth. 

Also, what you'll find about having an STR is that you want to use it most times that you'll collect premium rates and that can create a little internal conflict haha. 

Has anyone invested internationally in the Dominican Republic?

We own our primary, own a STR internationally, 3 commercial buildings, and a 4-unit apartment building - so we are highly familiar with real estate but here's a new conundrum.

Orlando draws international, multigenerational families for the parks (it's good that your brother purchased a 6bed/5bath home, because 5+ bedrooms is highly sought after by guests there). 

I also have to mentioned that the biggest advantage of using AI is for internal company usage, especially in a companies where it has multiple product, multiple supplier , or producing very competitive product ; company like home depot , medical device or even Adobe, can really make killing productivity by leveraging AI.For people in tech, the ability of AI to generate a code , a database or to articulate complex system , is very valuable.I have been moving from search engine to AI too in last few months and result was great.

Indeed, as a previous international banker covering the Americas ex-US and Canada, I was warned that merely suggesting that we might do something in Belize would get me fired.

Intern for a major company in the area.
