The problem is that there is no road Maintenance agreement for the 200 yard long (give or take) gravel drive.  

Also, for those entities engaged in such lending, the regulatory demands have grown substantially since the inception of the SAFE Act and the Dodd Frank Act which created the CFPB that has substantial regulatory control over their operations.

Life there is just a little cheaper than most countries, and in the future im planning to move there and live my life to the fullest.but im little scared to start out, im hoping to find a good landlord soon so he can manage the properties when i buy one, becouse till im goin to live there its around 1200km drive..so im basically hoping you guys could give me some advise on how to sucsessfully invest in a foreign country, buy frome RE bureaus, contract, etc etc etc...  

The house is located in an area where young professionals live and is on a nice safe street.I am trying to develop my strategy before I become the owner.Here are my ideas, let me know what you think!

I haven't been and am curious about making the drive from Schuylkill county.

So when I do my driving for dollars, I do in fact notice some houses that I believe could be potential investments.

I also have a desire to create a positive change in my community by providing safe, clean, and stable residences for people but, alas, we can't help everyone.  

I always opt for a full title search and title insurance to play it safe.

One of the most important parts of their job is to advise you on how to build safe and legal housing.

So based on what you highlighted in your post, several conditions could be present.  1) real estate market is flat, 2) area the properties are located in or the property itself is not desirable, 3) there are other factors that 'drive' up the actual costs on the property, 4) property taxes in PA are really low to begin with, 5) competition is low, 6) other reasons, 7) none of the above and they were in the right place at the right time.
