As you alluded, cash transaction and money laundering rules are pretty much internationally driven now.

Having graduated this past June with my B.Arch I am now working as a project engineer for an /international specialty contracting firm gaining hands-on experience in the construction world while at the same time networking and expanding my range of contacts.However, my true passion lies in the entire real estate process from the creation and design of properties to their funding and ownership.

It is to these 92% I salute and say buy another 1 or 3 homes that rent for <1% of the purchase price and hire an outstanding property manager that sucks every penny of fake cash flow right out of that gross rent revenue.

It's a good play if you have a lot of cash and can reach the monthly income level that is enough for you to be happy.I'm working on making a few more hundred K now and then will be jumping further into landlording (have 6 paid off SFR's already now) and retirement at 27-28 years old.Nothing like real estate for asset retention plus revenue generation all in one.

Cool, are those Dutch or international cases?

As you grow you will need to limit your partnerships or clearly define them.If someone wants to JV on a venture we closely define the parameters will are looking for if they aren't experienced (mostly after their money, them having a deal locked up).Can they help manage the property to save $50-100/month... no (that requires us to create more systems for our internal staff)Can they do the rehab themselves... no (that makes my life too complicated)
