I see them as huge opportunities but not talked about a lot.Well REO's have gone down to to lower foreclosure rates. drawbacks are banks are very low and non responsive, unless its not a traditional bank and a private lender then you could possibly get a better deal.

Both 30 days and 60 days are common in traditional leases.In a 60-day notice example, most respectable landlords would communicate 70-80 days before the end of the lease and ask the tenant about their intentions to end or renew the lease.

When the economy suffers as a result of too much of a contraction, debt payments are harder to make, etc, then go through the cycle of loosening it again, devaluing the currency so debt payments are easier to make, and banks can profit higher than before.

You have to treat REI like a business, which means you need to understand how to have a REI investment plan (this isn't a traditional business plan), and you have to understand how money works within the realm of REI. 

to get to the point, i would find an area likely to experience more demand and ensure the financials work out for both MTR & LTR's. i would ideally start out with a fourplex and depending how that goes, possibly scale from there. i do believe that it is more traditional to syndicate on larger properties so i am wondering if you know if it is possible to syndicate, starting off, for one fourplex or even one MTR condo. my gut feeling is to start with one beach-front condo in florida that requires $37,250 down . a new construction fourplex, however, i could finance with a USDA loan myself and not have to consider investors so that may make things easier, possibly.no airbnb's. maybe VRBO. two week minimum stay. only in areas very likely to have housing demand due to new factories being built.i own/run an STR right now and it is going well with only the occasional hiccup.

And because Puerto Rico uses the U.S. dollar, there is minimal currency risk.Tax incentives:In 2012, Puerto Rico introduced a series of tax loopholes to lure investors and businesses.

Then why not sell it on the open market to a traditional buyer? 

I've been looking for a 2-4 unit building to access traditional financing for around $200k.

I already owned a large portfolio, but wanted to learn some non-traditional techniques for acquiring properties.

What you’re getting at is that when you lose your W2 it significantly worsens your debt to income ratio – which would make getting traditional loans harder.
