First of all, it's hard to trust anyone or any agents. So just research deeply. Sadly my country doesn't allow foreigners to buy land directly. The only way is to take a business license and Registrar of Joint Stock Companies. This means you have to open a company here, no matter small. Then you can buy property here legally belonging to the company name and you can sell it at any time you want. Since you don't want to buy sell and going to earn from rent, then there wouldn't much issue and you may do it without hassle. It doesn't cost much though.
Thank you for your advice. Setting up a company and hold stock share with agent is also fine, because in some parts of the world, it could be possible that company ownership right is as strong as land ownership right (but not in my country).
Still, I'm willing to pay for some agent if he can write formal papers in esoteric foreign language instead of me though.
I am not getting exactly what you mean by agents. I really don't believe in any so-called agents. I like straight forwards. You are honest doesn't mean world all agents are honest. Anyway, I could help you with what I said above. Taking the license from the government would cost approx $3K which will allow you to buy property in my country. Then whether you may buy a ready-made house or you can build as well. I am not revealing my country for privacy reasons. You may DM me or contact me through Telegram if in case you are interested. For advance info, your investment should be in fiat through a government bank. But your earnings could be sent through Bitcoin. It's because Bitcoin isn't legal tender here. So investing a lot of money will be a problem. But it's possible to manage your earnings in Bitcoin since I am involved with it. Or if you are interested to invest in a built-in eCommerce platform then I could help you as well. Same here, earning would manage through Bitcoin but not investment. All investment should occur through government and company accounts.
