I have bought a couple of units and now working on my own development.

This reduces exit options and affects the value. 10) Small number of small units is the most expensive residential development there is.

It’s a business oriented mentorship but the man I was paired with was well versed in all aspects of real estate investing and development.

Network with local investors, undertake extensive due diligence, and develop a clear exit strategy.

Has anyone had any luck on structuring a deal with seller financing to obtain the land, then use a lender for the horizontal development infrastructure.

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.

I have no idea how anyone makes money investing in real estate in the Hong Kong market - other than developers, that is.

For example, if the property you are buying is a development property, like a small house with a large lot in a developing area, then a small negative cash flow could be okay if you can carry it.

As for the experience suggestion, thank you for your bluntness JHL, we all need that reality check, but I also have 42 years (bought my first property at 16 years old) and 5 generations of real estate investment behind me and am always looking for new developments in this dynamic business.

There are some major developments continuing construction, however; the price points are upwards at $290,000 or higher and rent rates being advertised at $2,000 a month.
