How do property rights hold up for American landlords in a country that is at enmity with the US?

James, I think you overestimate how an average American handles their finances.

For many years I thought Paul Krugman had destroyed more American minds than anyone else...I'm now thoroughly convinced it's Dave Ramsey. 

You can start your search on the AIA (American Institute of Architect) California website.

There are a lot of rules, regulations and laws out there that most are unaware of. there are reasons why RE is regulated in our society and economy.Informing newbies or others not only protects these folks from losing money, suffering from illegal activities, it also impacts your reputation among your peers, other professionals in the industry and most importantly in the public.

I've traveled a decent amount in Latin America and am starting to look into potentially investing in a short term rental in the region. I'm curious if anyone has suggestions for countries that may be a good fit, I hav...

There’s no reason to put in a EV charger as maybe 4% of Americans have a Tesla and 3-4% have j1772 if you count plug in hybrids.

Seems reasonable since you don't want to let them protect their own property.As far as making other tenants uncomfortable, half the parking lots in American now have security cameras in them.

Very useful input @Scott Mac on the difference between 80 LPs @ $50k and 4 at @ $1MM.My bigger vision is to get to a place with back office overheads, internal cash flows, and technology that would allow passive ranch investing to be available for as low as $500/ea for retail, non accredited investors.That is the democratization aspect and the vision/values vs execution dilemma I face when testing at $50,000 vs $1,000,000.Due to the registration being much cheaper, I must go the route of accredited investors only, for now.My subjective, populist, nationalist, rural Montana beliefs deep down in my bones that still emotionally and personally influence my decision-making-bias is that what we have in Montana is 1-special, 2-should be shared without being too commercialized and gentrified, and 3-is quickly being lost.With ranches as we all know, and I fully accept, becoming only for the UHNW, part of my core-motivation and driving belief is that technology (online syndication) should present an opportunity in the marketplace to bring in more of the "Average American" to participate, appreciate, and benefit from this asset; not just for it's historical performance, but for its actual tangible benefits (the feels).Pride in ownership, sense of place, vesting/shared interest in ecology, community, and food production.First it must be an asset though, one that makes sense in someone's diversified portfolio.

Berkshire Hathaway, ForemostStar, and American Modern are options if they're available in your state.
