You need to have enough money, probably in the $100-150k, amount to put the property under contract, and do the feasibility study on the property, Phase 1 Environmental, Property Drawings for roads, water sewer, and utilities, and have a completed budget so you know what your costs are.At that point you can go out and attract investors, I don't thing that developing raw land is necessarily cheaper than buying discounted finished lots. 

I mostly look at it as a long term play, but that somewhat depends upon the location in Nicaragua. 

I was also thinking about a real estate course but as per my understanding, I wouldn't be able to be licensed because I'm still not living there, so my plan is to wait a bit more to enroll in a course to make sure I'll have all my documents ready first (apparently after the completion of the course, I will have no more then 6 months to do the exam to get licensed).Sorry for the long post (and maybe some grammar mistake) and thanks in advance to everyone :)Chiara Hi Chiara,Her course does teach you her way of analyzing properties and local trends by zipcode, but what I discovered after meeting local investors is that everyone has their own way of analyzing properties and their own interests in the different neighborhoods.
