I have been a broker in CA since 1975 and it just seems like we lead the nation in disclosures and consumer protection.. 

I am going to be in the Bahamas for 45 days in late spring and hoping to avoid a turn around flight to Ft Lauderdale if I need to close anythingyou can go to the US embassy if they have one and get a notary.. thats how folks in many other countries close their deals its expensive and time consuming but probably less than air fair etc. 

With that kind of buying power I would recommend not competing with the consumers for single family and 1-4 multifamily properties in this highly appreciating and highly in demand market. 

@Levi Williams i have been in the construction industry my entire working career and 3 yr ago i obtained my IN broker license.It is a lot of work to learn the processes and legalities of real estate but being in the business has taught me a lot of what the consumer desires in a house.

Assessing the bill and passing on charges every month is time-consuming so I would stick to a flat rate.

Could be time consuming - just keep this in mind2.

Managing a single family property from a distance is the most expensive and the most time consuming wat to invest in real estate. 

Excluding autos, sales rose 5.9%, also far ahead of the 1% estimate in a display of unexpected strength from consumers.

Taking someone to court to HOPEFULLY collect the balance owed if they break a one year lease is time consuming and costly in most situations.

Rezoning can be time consuming, expensive and sometimes impossible.The interesting thing that my lender explained is that if I were to negotiate a much longer escrow with the seller, to allow time to replat BEFORE closing, then not only would I likely be able to refi as 2 separate lots, but it would also add significant value to the property.This is all very new to me.
