When I wanted larger projects and larger apartments.

I'm working to grow my broker/investor networks, and track individual projects better as I pursue my next syndication.

He had heard that in the next 9 months or so it is projected for a correction in the RE market.

Also if i'm trying to get a comparative market analysis on a certain home.

You will need a licensed GC to be approved by the lender (with references, previous projects, etc) before closing, but if you can coordinate the extra effort it’s a great way to flip a house without using your own capital.

I got excited every time Id get to see a final project after following it from the beginning.

Next project I think will be building little cottages behind main houses.

This is just one of many international projects that have not worked out. 

and now there is FIRTA which requires tax withholding on sales by non-residents/non-US citizens.Here's a list of popular countries, with restrictions:United States--- Purchases in some areas can require disclosure of principals and FIRTA withholding at sale time approximately 15%.United Kingdom--- 3% stamp duty on investment buyers and 15% tax if bought in name of shell company.Thailand--- Foreigners cannot buy freehold land....and only 49% (foreign quota) of certain condo projects. 

I am sure there are ways to push through development/redevelopment projects.
