@Aaron T. I  was thinking about BnB to start with. My ides is for a long term hold. I thought BnB for now till I get more money and expand and possibly make it a little hotel. Puerto Rico will always be a destination for a vacation. In the process of all this create some jobs and other opportunities on the island. I believe if I can create a safe and convenient experience this can work. I know this is all based on how much I get the land for.

Hi everyone :) My name is Steph, I'm somewhat new to bp. I want to get your take on the opportunity I think I have. My family member has inherited some land in Vega Baja, PR. This land doesn't have a house on it and my family member doesn't want to deal with it. They want to cash out so I feel I can get it below market value. I have done some research it ain't in the best area but its less then an hour from the airport there's lakes and other attractions around the property. It about an acre so I was thinking about building a 2 story house with a pool updated security and a couple of other amenities. But the bigger picture is to see how this 2 story house works and start buying other land to expand. 

What do you guys and ladies think? 

P.S This idea is still in the early works. This is all based on how much I can get the property for.

Hey guys how are you guys doing ? Now I'm looking to rehab a house by the end of the year. But while doing that I feel like I'm missing thing that I should be looking at. Is there anywhere I can get a check list I can look at just to get a idea. And please let me know if you have any ideas from experience or advice. Thank you 

Hey guys I'm sorry I'm new to the forums. I didn't realize I put it under success stories. I haven't spoken to anyone about the foreclosures yet. I set something up for tomorrow to sit with someone that has some experience in foreclosures. @Rick H.I think you are right about the not getting the last step. thank you for bring that up. cause now I'm taking a step back to get a better understanding of everything. @Joseph England @Ned Carey I'm started the introduction to real estate modules on BP. and after going to read the guide after. Thank you everyone for your input and it helps so much. I will see ya in the success stories forum soon with my story...

Thanks prince for the reply. I do try to do my homework but I feel what I'm looking for is not accurate and other then it not being accurate it doesn't give you the answers that I'm looking for. I been on this site for a couple of days and I think I have learned a lot more but I still have a lot to learn. What I would like to do is flip for now and then go in to rental properties. I would like to start in the city of new York.  

David Faulkner I think you are right. the gurus are very suspicious way of going. That's why I decided to go to the forums. Thanks for the input. Do you have a source to where I can get a break down of real estate as a whole. Such as mechanics of a deal. I seem to buy books that take you in circles but really doesn't teach you nothing. I think a strong foundation is key but when there's so many different views its hard to build. If you can you point me in the right direction.

I listen to these podcast and they talk about all these leads like probate, foreclosures, auctions, etc. They all sound great but where do I get the list for each lead? I look on the internet but I feel like I'm looking at the wrong things. Is there some where I can go to pick up the list?

Hi everyone my name is Stephen I'm from New York. This is my first step to getting the knowledge I need to start my investing journey. I want to be able to rent and flip properties in multiple areas and markets. I'm a little nerves so any one with advise for a beginner I would highly applicate it. Thank you
