We have people come from all over, France, Germany, Spain, Texas, Maine.

Some of the the math calculations include Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Discounted Cash Flows (DCF), Future Value (FV) of the Appreciating property, Net Present Value (NPV),10 year projections, etc.There's no need for this kind of math if the Investor will not get any kind of appreciation, such as LONG TERM rental increases and value appreciation.If you have only been taught one kind of math, which is the Cash Flow NOW math (Cash on Cash Return, GRM, etc.), and you never do a 10 year pro-forma business plan which includes things like the above calculations, your mindset is not correlated towards the future possibilities of what might happen 10 year, 20 years or 30 years from now.This is the type of math I do because no other Math makes sense for an Investor like me, an Investor that has been Investing in Brooklyn for 2 Decades.If I did the normal financial math, like Cash on Cash Return.....

I mentioned this to my high school, and we came up with an “internship” program that allowed me to intern with one of the top real estate teams in my area for partial credit towards my education.

Hi, I live and invest in the US but I recently started looking at France for an investment.

I have also gained some knowledge of the tax sale process this summer at the firm I am interning for, and I am confident that I could complete any legal work myself.

The people you would want to lead generally have enough self confidence and internal drive to not need a leader, but rather a facilitator, and the people that you don't want to lead can't tie their shoes without a road map and a chaperone. 

The word "depreciation" does not appear in that section of the Internal Revenue Code.

Their rates/points are on a sliding scale depending on the risk tier they assign you based on their own internal criteria, primarily personal credit score and experience (they do pull a personal credit report and require a personal guaranty, even when lending to an entity or Corp .. and the risk tier is also based on the amount of prior flips/exits in the previous 12 - 24 months).Your risk tier also determines the max LTV they'll loan you based on the ARV.They also require at least 10% down, plus closing costs.

With a job change, I'm just not in state enough (or even in the same time zone as I travel internationally too) to handle it myself. 

International taxation is a complex area so you would need the scale to bear legal fees for tax attorneys  and CPAs on both sides of the border.
