Newbie in need of assistance
Hey guys, I am a newbie in the real estate game. I have been watching a few of the biggerpockets youtube videos, listening podcasts, and reading a few of the blogs and articles on how to invest in multifamilies rental properties. Recently I checked a few of the real estate websites in my country ( I'm from Grenada, West Indies) and tried analyzing a few of the properties in the area I am interested in for a practice, using the biggerpockets rental calc and a few estimated expenses costs.
In all of those deals, the monthly mortgage payment alone exceeds the monthly income, using the 20% downpayment. It would be awesome if a few of you guys can check out a few of the websites and hopefully give me a few tips on what I should do?
PS. I believe my country has a very high buying cost.
Websites with the area I am interested in selected:

The websites prices are quoted in USD.
Ps. My country currency is called Eastern Caribbean Dollars (XCD or EC) 1XCD = 2.67 USD
Estimated monthly income: 1 bedroom ($850 - $1000 XCD), Two bedrooms (1200 - 2000 XCD).
Mortgage rate: 5.99 - 6.25%
Thanks in advance for the advice and tips.
