Conner,We are still doing them just a few things to keep in mind like the 25% down and making sure that the DSCR ratios are 1.25% or greater.

If they do not pay are we legally able to keep their equipment as collateral? 

Would aslo  need to have the debts separately from personal liability so it does not interfere with future personal financing.  

They have to use "hooks" to keep you.BP is free.

Putting more thought into this @Kevin Sobilo ...KEEP Town home: we would have to use an FHA/low/no money loan for our next primary = high mortgage. 

I really think you need to take some time to understand your own personal goals before making any moves (literally or figuratively). 

However, as an agent and investor, we understand an accept that our payout comes with time- however for a project manager realistically looking for a 1099, being paid at the time of work is key to making sure you have the right person on your team.Is there realistically a way that you can create your projections of net profit on a project (in a scale format from X$ to Y$) and find a happy medium in there of expected net profit, and carve out your PM budget there?

For the person who asked about a lender in the area..

Prices have gone up, but still relatively inexpensive.The Farangs (Westerners) on ThaiVisa.com speculate (hope) that it is going to crash, but it keeps going up.People on ThaiVisa.com could advise you on property in Cambodia.  

Keep in mind that you may never see your asset.
