Sold that portfolio and two vacation homes when I retired.

That said, if you’re more easy-going and enjoy earning higher returns overall, you may just be the right personality fit for corporate rentals.TIMEDo you have the time?

The dynamics in this market are nothing like the people I like to invest with.One option is to settle into the passive role for a few years, and enjoy your time in Korea.

There are a handful of others as well, i've been to three listed above and have enjoyed them.

Maybe there is a business opportunity to make a "positive pitch" by advertising some of the enjoyable experiences the landlord could have if the landlord sold to you and had your cash to spend.I guess that doesn't really answer your question though. 

I have a complex financial picture with RRSPs in Canada, RI in Canada, IRA/401k and other stocks/bonds in the US, vacation rental US,.. while I have confidence in my ability I also recognize that there are limits to my knowledge and speed at which I can learn (e.g. tax implications in two countries, ugh!).

I wouldn't go foreign unless i'm looking for a family vacation place like the Amalfi Coast in Italy where it can easily be rented or used as an AirBnB. 

They wanted to vacate so we rehabbed it and sold it.

Enjoy it man.

In my free time, I enjoy rock climbing, mountain/trail biking, motorcycles, coaching lacrosse, and studying for my return to school for pre-med/medical school.
