Looking at a project in the Philippines, has anyone participated in large scale development projects overseas and could share insights?  

I was thinking something along the lines of a R.E. agent or working at a development company.

(High leverage, interest only, long term fixed rate debt at sub 5% interest rates).First step would be to develop a realistic view of the current economy.

I’m working on developing my funnel of leads and came across an interesting situation.

I have spent tens of thousands of dollars on conferences and education and have developed strategies, put systems in place, and developed relationships that allowed me to have the year that I had in 2018.

We may need to grab a cup of coffee one day.

Would it be considered acceptable or ridiculous to ask an accredited and very active RE investor who is interested in a deal you are looking at (whom you hope to develop a positive relationship with and or/ partner or invest with you) to sign a non-circumvention agreement, prior to them seeing the deal AND prior to having the deal in question under contract? 

We do, however, have some unknowns that we want to investigate before closIng, and have an inspectIon period once the contract is sIgned.While thIs has been developing, we’ve been driving for dollars and mailing to property owners.

Part of getting into REI is so that we can spend more of our time together rather than spending more than half our day at other jobs and commuting, getting to work together is a big part of why we want to take this on (and the potential that RE Investing has for financial freedom).My Concerns: I originally thought I would develop myself as a contractor and do most of the work myself at first, but when I consider the time constraints (holding a house way longer to do the work myself, and the quality of work suffering) I realize this isn't an optimal plan.

Who don't you develop that source?
