I have been on BP a long time and maybe about eight years ago , a person had a small chance of finding a posted house for sale here that can be flipped.

It took quite a good time (~6months) even with a property manager but finally found the renter after rent decrease by 200$.

What Nathan said.You are following the red herring of the (real or imagined) roach problem, but the tenant just told you they cannot afford a $35/mo. rent increase in an under market rent apartment!

But if I sold today I likely would lose atleast 10k.Would it be feasible to just relocate for the job and rent the house for the time being and see what happens?

I wish you well in your real estate endeavors. 

We ran it past our real estate agent and lender — but I'm all for shoring up.

If you're serious about this, it's probably time to reach out to an attorney for more nuanced advice.Thanks for the reply Dominic.

Maybe concrete single-family 1-4 units depending on the price point and cash flow.Also there is no real MLS in Puerto Rico you need to find an agent for each area you want to look at.

I worked at hospital diagonally across street so very convenient and at the time this 2bed 1bath was all I needed.

The real estate agents recommended I look into Nomad (real estate tech) company for property management and finding tenants for the property.
