@Michael Pilolla just to give you some food for thought...Depending on the city and property I sometimes rent month to month to protect myself against a bad fit. 

I mean I have done 2 weeks in Thailand and only paid for food :)  same With Europe so you cant get that by just staying at a random airbnb. 

Other than war, the leftists top three targets are food, shelter and clothing.  

.- Just MolzhonHi Justin,Just some food for thought.Have you talked with each of these tradesmen yet? 

So, I would take it with a grain of salt.

...a different country, an unusual property (a farm), and an unusual business model (an off grid retreat center with its own food source that accepts cryptocurrency). ...That would be a pretty incredible niche even if you were on-site, but running something like that from the other side of the globe sounds wild...I assume you have a really good and trustworthy team of people on-site to manage things for you?

Take the realtors casual estimate with a grain of salt.

This is why cap rates are to be taken with a grain of salt and are an indicator but not an end all be all.

If you are having food a local restaurant/bar/sandwhich shop may be helpful too as they want to get their name out there!

Just some food for thought to think about.
