I'm a bit torn here between attempting to answer some of your questions, Chris, and that being perceived as active encouragement by people coming in with that sort of income and thus to misinterpretation by those who really want to move insufficiently resourced. Or as Ringo says

particularly if that budget is US$1000 or under.
Sure, it can be done and there are 'old hands' doing it, many of whom have years of experience here behind them. But can a 'new hand', knowing very little really manage it in a problem-free way? And can they learn enough from a message board to achieve this? Or does it have to be through feet on the ground experience?
