Looking for investors to fund one of your RE deals could also be an issue.Generally the courts and the state regulators consider someone with a license as armed and dangerous.

They generally publish regular news updates so you can stay current with the state and community regulations.

This may not be PC to say, but don't forget to account for bribes when developing in the countries you mentioned.I have a friend who is an expert in stormwater and was working with the Bahamian government on solving some of their stormwater issues.

However, if you choose to go this direction, make sure to find a company who specializes in parks and is familiar with all the state regulations.

If the houses are in a heavy crime block; you will find a motivated seller who wants to get out fast now there are areas like the Hyde Park area where you want to be as that is right in the heart of the new government facility that they start construction on and in time you will see the property  taxes increase which will bring values up and drive the crowd out.

The differences are based in their Charters and the government backing of the Mortgage Back Securities in the Secondary Market.

Single family appreciates a lot better than condos, they also don't have the kind of HOA fee's and regulations 

And in what state is the property (there might be laws governing this)?

City is getting their taxes and the regulation has been under discussion in the past 4 years.

@Brandon Hicks I'm not familiar with the laws and regulations and such, but from what I've heard for others that is the loophole around being registered.
