I own a few rentals near the Memphis international airport.

I’m currently exploring real estate investment opportunities in Canada as an international investor.

JBF Financial Services LLC DBA Finance International Group is a boutique mortgage brokerage that only does business in Florida.

However, you forgot/didn't mention the Costa del Sol, which, from an international real estate point of view (the topic here), is what matters.

I also am a member of the International Real Estate Federation, and can connect you with agents who are able to help with your purchase.  

My wife and I also own the only interior design company specifically for real estate investors, Ivory Home.

When it comes to real estate, here's a general list of eligible assets and their depreciable lifespans that you should know: Residential Rental Property = 27.5 yearsThis includes any building or structure where 80% or more of its gross rental income is from residential units.That means:- Apartment buildings- Single-family rental homes- Duplexes, triplexes, and quadplexes- Mobile homes (used for residential rental)- Any kind of residential lodging facility where the primary purpose is long-term rentalCommercial Property = 39 yearsThis includes non-residential properties like:-Office buildings-Retail stores and shopping centers-Warehouses-Industrial complexes-Hotels and motels that do not qualify as residential rental propertyLand Improvements = 15 yearsThese include sidewalks, roads, fencing, some landscaping, and parking lots that are separate from the building.Personal Property = 5 or 7 yearsPersonal property used in a rental activity usually has a 5 or 7-year life.This includes most furniture, appliances, carpeting and various machinery.Qualified Improvement Property (QIP) = 15 yearsGenerally, this includes any improvements made to the interior of a non-residential building after the building was placed in service, excluding elevators, enlargements, and the internal structural framework.Computers and Related Peripheral Equipment = 5 yearsVehicles = 5 yearsNote that the land itself is not depreciable.

I recently moved back to the U.S. after almost two decades working in international development and entrepreneurship across the African continent, from co-founding a tech-enabled logistics company in Ghana to negotiating public-private partnerships for infrastructure investments in Senegal.

Most people who invest internationally invest in short-term rentals and, unsurprisingly, that's what Mark is asking about.

I am currently a student at Florida International University, studying International Business.
