Thank you for your answer, I found exactly what I need. I'm still new in some areas (Raising Capital, Syndication, Creative Finance & Analisying properties internationally), but I started in real estate investing when I was 18.

Now I enjoy more audiobooks. They are faster and I retain more content. I have no problem listen to an audio book for 8 hours In a day.

Thank you all for your answers.

I know how to run the numbers, but I feel like I'm not doing it like a pro or I'm lacking of confidence, and I would like to know is there a place or book that teach you how to do it correctly . Suggest me whatever you want, books, audiobooks, webinars, courses, etc...

The reason is because I want to raise capital and I want to feel comfortable and full of confidence, I think I'm doing the identify good but it lacks in something I don't know.

P.S I want to get better at this.

I'm considering to move to Florida, Washington D.C, Texas or even other countries as Australia, Sweden, Hong Kong or Singapore and I need to know what are the things you have to look at before I move and invest in a place I don't know from a real estate investor perspective. I know I have to look at the demographics (suggest me a good website for that) but is there anything else?

I read Rich Dad Poor Dad and I quitted from College in 2012 (I started in Real Estate in 2007), I was about to start a degree on Computer Science with a minus concentration in business administration. Now I'm a a real estate investor. I've read more than 305 books in these past 2 years.

Ohh ok, and guess i was a little bit confused with both terms.

Thanks !

I don't think is temporary and I don't think it will change at least for this decade, is not just the lack of jobs (Also brain drain), high crime & the people who is not happy with the "dressed colony" political status. I think the best I can do is to move where I like and where the numbers make sense.

Thanks for your answer.

I have been investing since 2007 with my family, we used own our money to buy our first property, and then our second property which is a triplex using creative financing (we literally don't paid any money, just the attorney expenses, because the previous owner couldn't pay the mortgage anymore). Now I want to start investing without my family and using private money, I have been taking some webinars about raising capital and I'm kinda lost preparing deals, analysing properties and finding private lenders. I want to buy & hold or buy, fix & hold in multi-family. Any recommendations?

P.S I have good credit, but I just don't want to deal with banks or hard money lenders.

I'm already investing successfully with positive cash flow in Real Estate with no vacancy rate in all my properties, but I have a concern, people are leaving this island (Puerto Rico, the Detroit of the Caribbean) at historical levels, we have been in recession since 2006, we have a 87 billion debt and there's no jobs. I don't want to feel like I'm rich in Haiti. I had to lower the rent to stay competitive with the competition, I know some landlords that are selling their houses because of the negative cashflow & vacancy rate & I want to be proactive, What should I do, buy, sell.... I can't find good deals here and I don't trust my area, in my opinion quite overpriced. .

P.S Either way I'm gonna move soon.
