I am looking to expand and I want to purchase my first duplex to house hack or do my first flip which both ventures require me to have my financials in order. 

In these cities, your financial resources will go a long way enabling you to assemble a diverse multifamily portfolio and initiate a steady stream of income.

In cases where things are completely removed, I have charged the whole amount depending on what the situation is, you take all the knobs off something like a stove, I am charging for replacement.  

I am a financial advisor that specializes in working with business owners and real estate investors.

Upper-middle class families in those situations will get insurance money for a temporary place to live and it's generally a large sum. 

And even if you could, the interest rate would be way higher than it is in the US.I've been a big supporter of international investing on BP and elsewhere but long term rentals outside North America generally make no sense, financially or otherwise.

Additionally, consider consulting with legal and financial advisors to solidify your agreement and protect everyone involved.

This would be a great question to ask them as it's specific to you and your tax situation.

You should make sure that you can afford the cost of the protection that you choose.Please also keep in mind for your situation to consult a professional and share more details! 

So, if you ever find yourself in a similar situation, just remember: with a little grit and a lot of perseverance, anything is possible.
