Where are you currently located?

I have closed some loans for clients located in China, Spain, and Japan thus far in 2024 and they all utilized embassy or apostille notary. 

I'm located in the SF Bay Area in San Jose, so if there's anyone I can buy a coffee in exchange for some of your time, I'd be more than happy to connect.Lastly, I don't think I'll be ready to start seriously looking for a first investment for a few months, so the question is, when is the right time to start talking to people like real estate agents, brokers, lenders etc.?

My suggestion, is you visit all these potential locations with your family, and see which area calls to you, which areas you can see yourself enjoying, and allow the STR/MTR strategy take the second seat to your enjoyment and lifestyle vision for you and your family.

I’d be happy to supply additional resources on the economic impact of STR’s in my particular location if that’s of interest to you.
