I’m a real estate agent based in South Carolina, where I specialize in off-market deals and work closely with investors.

FB and virtual RE groups are a great resource for networking with other local real estate professionals.

After 45 + years investing in, purchasing and selling notes and real property; structuring “deals”, running investment funds and syndications, I have observed that many (most) investors both hesitate too long gathering too much information before making an offer AND do not do enough investigation, analysis and due diligence before they finalize a purchase.Seems like opposites, right?  

You may want to research now how the country taxes different types of investments(Equity, bonds, real estate, etc)That can tell you potentially what investments to have.The issue with potentially becoming a US citizen is that they will tax you on worldwide income.Therefore, if you get the citizenship and move out of the US, you may want to see if you would be exposed to US taxes, whether you will want to move back to the US and if you want to renounce your US citizenship.I agree that if you are not sure of living in the US, you may want to avoid doing items such as having a large balance in a retirement account that may be considered taxable by another country when you retire.Best of luck

For example, your credit card could have a line of credit up to $25,000 but you don't pay anything as long as your balance is $0.

Buyer's agent could/should also negotiate a seller credit that makes the offer $100k, with $3k credit for buyer agent compensation, again resulting in a seller net of $94k.But now buyer has the opportunity to agree with their agent that the rate should be 2%, or a flat fee of $2k, and the buyer then pockets that savings.

We, thankfully, had a friend of a friend connect us to a delivery person, who directly picked up flooring and delivered to us, then we worked with flooring company to get a credit back on price.Or, we did Ikea cabinets, which came with both more pieces than we ordered, and not all the pieces we ordered.
