The returns are not as high as I get in the United States compared to the lease options that I do with single-family homes, but the enjoyment that I get from visiting these properties and hosting investor retreats out there is so much greater than any regular investments that I have in the states.Let me know if you have any questions about the things that I’ve mentioned.
