In every real estate transaction you engage in, have three exit strategies, one of which is what you will do when (not if) the real estate and credit/debt/currency bubbles burst as real estate did during the "Financial Crisis".Keep in mind that residential properties lost approximately 50% of their value then in a very short period of time.  
Minsu Kim Can I rent out my garage to a foreign business entity?
2 August 2021 | 2 replies
@Minsu Kim I am not entirely sure on the legality of signing a lease and accepting rent from a foreign business but I’m pretty sure you will want to tread carefully.1) if you live in a residential neighborhood it may be a code or zoning violation to operate a business - especially a warehouse - from your property.2) based on my experience with banks and depositing money they are under a LOT of pressure to prevent money laundering and the funding of terrorist organizations.

Kenrick Lumenier Opportunities in real estate investing in ARUBA
11 January 2019 | 33 replies
Hi Everyone ,Let me first introduce myself to the community.My name in Kenrick from Aruba(the caribbean), I am a young entrepreneur on the island also involved in real estate.In this discussion I will elaborate more about types of real estate investments in Aruba & where I see opportunities.Aruba is a part of the Netherlands, but still we are autonomous, this being said the Netherlands still has some responsibilities with Aruba and other caribbean islands.Aruba has its own currency & its own government.For more info on Aruba: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ArubaReal estate in Aruba:Arubas real estate I would describe as a strong market, we have seen only growth in real estate prices this after more then 20 years after a market correction due to the closing of a refinery leading to job loss and Aruban citizens migrating to other island.Aruba in the past years have seen major condo projects & is still being invested primarly from Venezuelan investors with there condominium projects.Property land prices have been rising as supply does remain short of the demand of houses.Land:In Aruba if you want to build your own house, 2 ways you could do this either buy a property land or a government owned land leased to you.Property land being the most expensive(most valueble) & government owned land being the cheapest  with restrictions are still available depending on size average size needed is 300 sq. meters or more.Housing projects is still a big business because of supply and demand, dividing big pieces of property land and developing them into housing project is a good business with draw back in regards to getting permission from government departments, must have a concrete/paved road, infrastructure in place all expenses for the real estate investors costing time & money with could lead into a delay of a year or more.Opportunity:Opportunity to buy either a big piece or a small piece of land which could easily be divided can easily double your money in 3 to 6 months time.
