@Barrie HasselbalchYou could reach out to a tax attorney but with it being a decade ago I think he is going to be out of luck getting it reversedYou could have him execute a power of attorney to have someone act on his behalf while incarcerated and they could try and chase down the funds

I have a traveling nurse ready to rent  it “as is” too as an option. 4bed 2bath with 2 additional rooms needing egress in the basement. $115k 

You can also write off travel to and from the property and more.

I do not have the capital at the moment to invest into any type of real estate but i am starting a new job in August and want to develop a plan, therefore i can jump in and execute when I have the available capital. 

There are definitely pros and cons to all situations, you would just need decide what is best for you.Would listing it as a mid-term (traveling nurses, doctors, business professionals, contractors, etc) or a short term rental be an option? 

Its easy to map these things out on paper but hard to execute because its a hard business.

If you employ the BRR"R"RR strategy now, you’ll be in a strong position to capitalize on discounted properties and refinancing opportunities when the market conditions align.In short, while the BRRRR method we once knew has become harder to execute, adapting it to BRR"R"RR makes it a viable and profitable strategy in today’s market.

I've been in Lisbon for around 4 years - initially travelling between London and Lisbon before settling.  

I have lived in both places but if comparing price and travel time I don't know which one to decide on.

Sounds like a cool idea though...the only place I've seen them is outside the US on Travel channels and such.
