Hi everyone,Over the last few years, I've responded to almost 700 posts on buying and investing in international real estate yet I haven't written any single post.

This is another reason why having binding arbitration in all your contracts...it can be far less expensive and much faster to remedy a contractual dispute. 

Real estate was scary at the time, the news were bad, prices were dropping and nobody knew if that would ever get better.I had a well paying corporate job at the time (which also meant international travel 2 weeks every m month), so I did not have much time and it also it took me a year to find the confidence and the money for another one.

I will have to do my due diligence and research everything that has been stated here on this thread.This might be a silly question but how does financing work internationally? 

When you're looking at new builds make sure you check to see if they have a preferred/internal lender and/or an interest rate buydown available, which can really change the terms of the deal. 3 months ago some of the new construction companies in my area were offering permanent 3.5%, 30-year interest rates and up to $80k (10%) off of list for using their lenders.

My dad put on an international micro housing competition last year here in Denver, utilizing a real site in the RiNo neighborhood here in Denver.  

Im mexican, I have been working with some International Investors.

Unfortunately, the registration system wasn’t quite finished, and we didn’t feel comfortable launching it before having a chance to test it internally.

And he doesn't answer my international calls anymore (when I get brave enough to try), I don't know if he's getting texts. 

We then use an internal 3 comp approach for residential properties, an income approach on commercial properties, and a hybrid approach on farms.
