It looks like a trading platform in the UK.

Higher quality assets are trading in the high 5 to low 6 range.

Lot of east coast retirees down here plus local families who are willing to trade a longer commute to downtown for extra space and gardens.

The rights in the parcels that come with property covenants are typically absolute, and arguing constitutionality or burden to free trade, or void for impact on interstate commerce are all losing arguments. 

As far as cost, I would try to get 3 bids on each jobs (if you are new) maybe even 5 bids (seems excessive but you will learn a lot by talking to each trade).

Have a list of the appropriate trades and make some phone calls.  

However, nice properties in those countries trade in US dollars and therefore there is no currency risk, adding to the facts that they are closer to home and bigger tourist destinations.

Starting with the day you close the deal and become the new owner you will see that you now have just created a passive income stream that gives you an extra $750.00 a month without you having to punch a clock or trade a certain amount of hours to earn the money.

Ive heard of trading boats cars and things like that for RE.

For me If I were to buy and hold forever I might consider putting more down and maybe even do a 15 yr only if I could swing it/the numbers at the end.
