While other countries in the area are much easier to get to because they are closer and have invested billions of dollars promoting their tourism industry with great success, bringing direct ever more direct flights and massive investments to their country, Panama, although wealthier, has never cared to do that.

Why do you think purchase contracts are so long and have such small print?

I didn't do an exhaustive search, so this location is just an example.I'm considering either Reno or Las Vegas, but Las Vegas looks like a better location for this, since it has more direct flights to other international airports, and has more visitors to generate STR income.

Here are the numbers: Appraised Value: $250,000I Owe: $150,000 Homes in the immediate area: Selling for $1.3 million I would like to figure out how to strike a win-win deal with an investor/ spec home builder where I get my full value of the land (once the project is done) and a small percentage of the overall project profit

@mike @Mike Dymski NEVER move money from a checkbook IRA LLC directly to another retirement plan. 

Seems like a risky plan and if there is that much upside on the rent why not just adjust the rent yourself (doesn't need to be immediately if you're that afraid of losing tenants, just do it a little more tactfully, maybe make some small improvements or give them some more time to make it more agreeable) and keep the property?

For me it’s so much easier to deal with the listing agents or wholesalers directly.

They could firesell the property for BE even if I do a piss poor job.Not in my experience, I was only able to get financing on my first apartment because I had experience landlording prior (I had about 15 units comprised of small MF up to 4 units before I was able to get a commercial loan on 5+ units).

I asked her to send it certified mail and did not comply with those directions and sent it regular mail for her late rent. 

It's no small feat for these people to raise application fees, security deposits and moving expenses.
