There is a good website called http://www.globalpropertyguide.com/, that u can check to get add info about the country.I did consider investing in that country as well, but find it difficult as I do not speak their language, so much higher dependency of local people and their translation and overall a still unreliable stage. 

There are in fact anti monopoly law in place, but in order for you to be competitive, you have to have the infrastructure in place which translate into $$$$.  

Also, given this is a "Historic" building...translate old/aging...you're definitely going to want to create a CapEx reserve.

A good friend has informed me that Marvel Comics has just signed a 5 year deal with Pinewood Studios in Atlanta.Could translate to an increase in demand for rentals around that area.

How do I translate this into something tangible so I can make a good decision?

What I do find challenging though, is that unless they can interpret the inspection, lots of little things that need repair might translate to the investor that there is too much wrong with the house, where in fact they are small, inexpensive fixes.I have also had deals where my buyers opted to save their $300 and got saddled with some big expensive fixes that would have been caught in an inspection, and we could have renegotiated the price of the deal or had the seller fix the problems.A friend of mine, and quite a seasoned investor, purchased a house from the president of her REI group, and trusted him to give her a sound house.

It is old enough to have been translated from English.The BRIC economies are well known to folks who have worked at investment banks.

It's impossible to know what interest rates will do in the future, of course, and if they go down it can translate into a big profit for you.4.

I will pull this off via my own marketing, utilizing bandit signs, newspaper ads, a voicemail prescreening system, website, and networking within my local REI club.1: Acquire knowledge necessary to understand what is and what is not a deal, understand how to best translate a seller's situation into something that I can profit from and they find agreeable.Right now I am at stage 1, as you have probably guessed.

Translated this means you could make a fair bit of money from the cash flow but you will never see home runs from appreciation.
