All,Based on your experience, would you say, that the real estate tax for a vacant land should be correlated with its usable part? 

We are going through a contentious divorce and I would like to buy her out, but apparently thats not very easy.If we sell the properties our gross earnings will be about 300k, while our net earnings will be around 150k, due to capital gains, depreciation taxes and realtor fees.My lawyer, who is not experienced in real estate investing, says I have to buy her out based on gross earnings, so I'd owe her 150k.

Rein, First, understand legal framework and financing options first.

You can also try roomiapp - leasebreak.com - there are tons of options.

Congratulations on starting your journey as a real estate investor and looking into other markets to see your options!

I am currently based in Boston but can move to Atlanta and keep my job from October onwards.

Can anyone point me to the best US based resource either private or commercial that does loans for international real estate purchases?

My current primary ( scenario 1) Keep the primary for the life of the loan ( current rate is 4.5 so i dont see my self refinancing anytime soon)current home value 1,150,000Loan amount 935,000appreciation estimate 5% per year after a 28 year hold and the house is paid off I would have a house worth 4,312,000$my current mortgage is 6125$ ( piti) included My second option( scenario 2) Sell the house, walk away with $150 ,000 ish in hand and put that into a low cost index fund Rent a house elsewhere for about 3000$ ish and take the extra 3000$ im saving everymonths from not having to pay my mortgage and puting that money in the index fund as well I ran the numbers on both of these scenarios and doing what I mentioned above would break even at about 28 years meaning my stock account would be worth 4.3 million just like my house would , but the only is that holding a house for 28 year would mean 28 years of property taxes, loan interest ,home insurance and repairs etc whick I calculated to be about 1,200,000$ at minimum which raised my eyebrows to say the least Also i understand that each of these options ( stock market vs real estate ) will have there tax consequences ( long term capital gains) so any thoughts on that would be appreciated as well.  

You have the two options @Luka Milicevic mentioned above without the interesting Calidornia joke.
