Quote from @Patricio Acosta: First comment I would say is do not buy something because it feels good.

I was to purchase a house in NC, but due to some information that was not disclosed about the house, we decided not to buy it.I will be getting my due diligence  money back and asked for money back for inspections but seller refused.  

Id also recommend if this is your first investment property your buying to have it as close to home as possible.

Took about half a year to learn how to walk, talk and even eat again, but bounced back to my love for real estate investing and the two things that transitioned me from just wholesaling to actually buying deals as an investor was creative finance and private money.Bought my first rental property in Easley, S.C. owner finance and one of my best rentals I still own today was bought subject-to! 

When I did my research for buying my properties in Costa Rica, I had one of the big STR management companies like Evolve analyze my potential profits and I used that info to raise money through bringing on partners to buy the properties.
