I’ve worked across various sectors of real estate, from residential to commercial properties, and I’ve built a solid foundation in sourcing, evaluating, and negotiating deals.Currently, I am leading R&H Capital, a division of my LLC, Property Pulse LLC, which focuses on raising capital for real estate acquisitions.

I'd be happy to provide some recommendations and suggestions for your situation as a foreign citizen living in Miami.First, it's important to have a good understanding of the local real estate market, including pricing trends and neighborhood dynamics.

I don’t want to just cut cost though I want to understand what I’m doing and be super hands on.

As an investor in a market where cash flow does not come often and appreciation is a bigger play, I understand your mindset. 

I've got solid connects to them just being in the trenches; granted they are more connected and deeper I don't doubt I can get there just by being around and doing deals.   

@Robert StephensonIt’s great that you’ve built solid equity in your current rental property— Here are a few options to consider:Cash-Out Refinance: You can refinance your rental property and pull out some of the equity to use as a down payment for another property.

I have a few built 90-100 years ago that seem solid with no issues.

As a CFA you probably know the old quote from Warren Buffett who said something like "buy what you know and understand". 

Verifying last 2 years of rental history and income extremely important to find the “best of the worst”.Make sure you understand the Class of properties you are looking at and the corresponding results to expect.

I made it a solid rule - no illegals on my jobsites.
