Hi BP community, I’m Lisa Hentrich, founder of Golden Key Acquisitions LLC, based in Kauai, Hawaii.I launched my real estate investment company to create fast, fair solutions for sellers and strategic opportunities for investorsespecially in off-market land and wholesale development.

Quote from @Bernard Golden: Hi: Have several wholly-owned properties with Section 8/Housing Voucher tenants.

You probably mentioned that Greece is the best from the residency angle because it's one of the few remaining EU countries that hasn't abolished it's golden visa and it still has a property option while Portugal, who has the best program has excluded real estate.

Some countries allow residency / golden passport if you buy a certain amount of real estate in the foreign country.2) Money / Taxes are of no concern to you and you just want a property to call home.In most other situations, you are likely better off renting in the area.Some things to consider1) Spending more than 183 in a foreign country normally will make you a tax resident of that country2) If you die, you may need to follow the estate laws of that country3) In the US, if you live in the property for more than 14 days, it may be deemed a personal property limiting your tax breaks as a rental property.

You have a golden opportunity with being a realtor and now rental property investor.

Renting isn’t just a preference anymore, it’s the only option for a ton of people.What I find interesting is how this could create kind of a “golden window” for smaller multifamily investors.

As long as the rent is enough to cover the monthly payment, you are golden.

I really enjoyed the BP Money Podcast with the Golden Ratio Risk Parity Formula back in July- already listened to it twice and took copious notes! 

The golden visa sounds interesting, but def oit of my price range.

If you’re aiming for Midwest value-add flips/live-in projects, I’d lean toward extracting some equity (refi, HELOC, or partial land sale) rather than dumping the golden loan.
