This is tempting knowing that you scheduled it at Bagby.  I had lunch there last Friday.  I'm in Newport Beach so may be a bit of a trek on a Friday.  Would love to connect.

Where do I go within BP site to find local meet up groups in my area? FYI, I am in Orange County CA.

Thanks for your help...

Makes sense. Thanks 

OK, thx.  I will respect that but why not?  I am new and trying to understand.  Thanks for your help...

If I find a deal is it appropriate per BP to throw it out in a forum to find a partner to lend the down payment?

Our youngest is in 2nd grad so we have a bit of time.  My wife is a teacher and I work remotely so we would like to have a reason to spend the summers in Costa Rica.  Our land is central coast south of Jaco.  

Where are you buying condos and do they break even or cash flow?

This is actually Costa Rica although the site made me choose a US city in the state so the beginning reads Costa Mesa.

Investment Info:

Other buy & hold investment in Costa Mesa.

Purchase price: $50,000

Raw land in a gated community in Costa Rica. My wife and I would love to live here 6 months out of the year once we reach financial freedom. We still need to build our home along with a duplex on the property. With a pool and large garden of course...

Lessons learned? Challenges?

Follow up with attorney often to ensure corporate taxes are paid on time.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Yes

My PM in NC referred to me as "A California Real Estate Investor" multiple times in somewhat of a condescending way like I was rich.  I felt like she didn't get me fair bids and even think she lied to me about getting multiple quotes when selling and needing a new roof.  Does anyone out there shelter the fact where they live when investing out of state because of this reason?  

Just a thought, thanks.

When replying to someone in a forum how do you tag them on BP?
