Considering the property market is red hot lately, I was thinking of building a house behind my house as a battleaxe, selling the front property for 550k, the rear property for 500k and then buying a resort in another country and then managing the resort with my family..
What do you think?
Be very careful with property laws in the other country. As a non-citizen (I assume) you are at a disadvantage negotiating the legalities without professional help. Not to mention the illegalities in some countries.
