It’s funny that people forget how cheap most of the U.S. is. In a town near where I live, a Victorian mansion with >40 rooms was for sale for $500K. And it comes with all the benefits of living in a developed country...
nods, a hub in a low-cost part of a developed country is also worth considering, but I think it’d still be significantly higher cost than a low cost country (food, assistance, and building), and has the disadvantage of being significantly less visa friendly (the US in particular puts major hurdles in the way of non-US citizens). The really low cost locations in the US are also likely to be less attractive locations, in terms of access to major cities and environment.
I also think that being in a developed country may be less of an advantage than some people are imagining, because I expect the internal and online interactions to be much more significant than local interactions once we’re outside existing hubs and other high-cost areas.
I think despite these considerations it’s worth exploring and also a potentially high value project, but it’s not something I’m drawn towards.
