Lastly, don't buy into all the anti-NYS stuff.

@Bruce Woodruff Right there with you, just about done with AirBnB and their anti-host BS.

Getting permits can be a nightmare, and the sentiment in government seems to be leaning more and more towards anti-development.

As far as competition for properties, it's one of the most difficult.Nashville and Breckenridge are both terribly entangled in the battle between pro and anti STR regulations. 

I admit this may not work as flawlessly in really expensive or anti-landlord areas.

There are, however, some flimsy aspects to some of the anti-wholesale arguments.

This is one of those weird, twisted anti-gun nut statistics.

Government in Brazil pretty tough right now, so I would not expect great ROI during this reign and seems anti-capitalist and anti-foreigner. 

I have considered investing in Mexico but the thing that keeps me away is fear that the people of Mexico could vote in a socialist government with anti foreigner ownership laws.  

It's a character trait and mindset of the shady with property IMO.Corporate slumlords are the worst and not on here sharing  They are also the biggest reason anti landlord laws get passed and tenant-minded protests erupt.
