Ok, point taken, eribrav. Fluctuating exchange rates could result in a lower return or in an extreme case, a loss. I feel confident in the future strength of the Lat, but I can see how this raises risk for the investment.
To deal with the problem of low liquidity, I was intending to reach out to many lenders for small sums, not a few lenders with a considerable sums invested in each property. This would let me be more flexible if an investor got "cold feet" and decided to pull out- I would take what surplus I have and give that to them, but still retaining ownership of the investment to sell at the right time.
I'm unsure how transaction costs would eat away as much as 10% of the total value. I hope you can explain this to me more, I appreciate your constructive critism. Currently I see about 4-5% going to the realtor, and 1-2% in exchange fees. I'd like to know what other costs are associated with this sort of thing, as I am new to all of this and i'd like to get started with both feet firmly planted on the ground.
