Your link to Ted Baumann is nothing more than link to sales pitch to spend $300 on his research papers. No capability to communicate with him.

Not likely because you would need a work permit, and that requires that you are a resident. And that can take months to line up...and then you have to hope you can get the permit. Probably best to see if you could work direct with a veterinarian there to bring people in to assist them as they can apply for the permits and they will know how to deal with the beauracracy.

Hi clark, here is Cindy Sheahan's email address. cindy.sheahan61@gmail.com

There's a lot of variance. It really depends on the town/neighborhood as well as the type of property (apartment or home, luxury or mid-range, etc), so it is important to do your research based on these factors, but note this is definitely not a flipper's paradise. I bought because I wanted to live here. What I like is the stability, we don't tend to have major booms or bubble bursts. I'm confident I'll be able to sell if/when I want to (bought in 2021, planning to keep for 5 years then evaluate whether to sell and buy again). Not expecting a huge profit but I'll come out ahead versus if I'd rented. Mid-range property purchased for under $200k, coveted building with amenities (gym, pool, etc.) on a golf course in a top beach town. One bedroom (admittedly harder to sell than a 2/3 br, but I would have zero trouble renting it out and covering the mortgage and maintenance fee), just over 1,000 sq ft.

Best,

Wow Jess - thank you so much!! This is fantastic information. I will definitely do more research as I am in the early planning stages and the above helps immensely. Appreciate the tip about asking one question per post - wasn't sure since we are looking at doing multiple countries in one trip.
