Depending on your down payment (which it seems like you have a good amount of liquid for that) they can nicely cash flow.Ultimately, success in real estate investing comes down to choosing a growing market, investing in a good neighborhood, and building a strong team to support you.

Section 8 tenants are also nice as the government will help pay the rent.

My bank directly takes Zelle, so its convenient for my tenant and I to do it that way, plus my bank would get it directly leaving a nice paper trail.

However, you must have reasonable limits and hold to them.I give a great example in my book where a tenant abandoned a 2,000-square-foot home full of nice furniture, expensive jewelry, a brand-new $2,000 rifle still in the box, etc.

New to this, so please be nice :)1.

Locations that are a 0-1 hour car ride from san juan to a nice town/city with more affordable areas walking distance to the beach would be interesting as well. 

That creates a really nice price / rent ratio which is favorable for investors looking for cash flow.

Don't split the work between multiple contractors if possible, finding one to do all or most of the work will keep prices down.Challenges were finding replacement pieces for certain items as manufactured homes were very different than stick built as well as going through state guidelines for affixing the house to the land Hey @David Jesperson, welcome to the BP Forum and congrats on completing your first solo deal AND making a nice profit!
