I’ve used Wise a few times and cant complain. Process was fast and straightforward.

There are more efficient ways to achieve the same and get a bunch of other positive side effects in one go: Land Value Taxation. Henry George proposed it already in 1879 in his book "Progress and Poverty".

IANAL If you already have a company in your home country but you might want to check EB-1 visa's.

Seems like a lot of people say they want to pay per article but in reality don’t.

There was such a service in The Netherlands but they pivoted to a subscription model (still p*ssed about it)

No, it’s not. From a Product Owner point of view, it’s a piece of shit. Hard to set priorities, hard to follow progress. I’ll take jira any day.

Only that doesn’t happen in real life. People on the brink of poverty don’t inherit property. And if they do, they can always sell it and put that money to better use.

If the value goes up when all else stays the same, it is actually the land value that goes up.

If you completely renovate the house, a property tax would go up but the lvt stays the same.

You most certainly should be paying the equivalent of 10 households. You deny 9 others the ability to use the land.

If you have real use for the land, paying the lvt won’t be an issue. If you can’t use it efficiently, an lvt will incentivise you to sell what you don’t use.

Become a contractor, you'll be in the 100 to 200k/year. (ok yes, that's before taxes)
