I’ll also connect with locals through BiggerPockets or Facebook groups for first-hand insights.If visiting isn’t an option, lean on a reliable local team (agents, property managers) to help vet the area.

The first thing I ask is why am I Buying the property.I always look at the exit strategy first, is it going to be a rental, a lease option sell, am I planning on living in it.

We've seen 3% for 100+ unit apartment complexes, but they also have onsite staff not included in the 3% management fee.Two other pricing options to properly understand:1) Fee charged based upon tenant payments or just occupancy.

It's possible to buy property in Germany with as little as 5-10% down, making it an attractive option for service members and civilian government employees stationed there or planning to settle.

Bear in mind that the fiscal treatment of the two options in Mexico is different (withholding tax on the gross income with the fideicomiso vs cost deductions with the corporation).

Feel free to reach out, I'm happy to chat and discuss options :) 

The advice I would give as a lender are these few options if you both are on mortgage.

@Cole Starin sometimes it makes sense to sell the WORST property in your portfolio.Another option is why do a LOC on the duplex, when you could just do a $100k cashout refi to pay off all your debt AND keep the property?

You don't have to spend a fortune and buy a house directly on the beach to do well, but your starting price point for a viable option in this market is around $350-$450k for a solid 2-3 bedroom oceanfront condo or around $500k for a 3-4 bedroom house within walking distance of the beach. 

They don't allow auto payments or automatically add late fees, and tenants would have the option to pull their payment back, which is not ideal.
