It all sounds too good to be true, so I am wondering if anyone else has explored "Roam"?"

Tyler Franca Joel F.I have been exploring investments in DR.

Additionally, I am willing to live in one of the units for a year.My long-term vision is to buy everyone out and eventually own the property entirely.What are some common deal structures I can explore based on my contributions and end goal?

Starting close to home or a day trip is easier to view properties. go to meet-ups and explore areas. 

Have you explored this? 

We are currently renting one unit on a long term but we really have a love for airbnbs and want to explore those possibilities.

@Jonathan BockI appreciate your input and look forward to exploring these opportunities further.

If the numbers aren't working on local properties, try exploring out of state investing.

I'm always looking to connect with like-minded professionals and explore opportunities for collaboration.

I have an area in mind that is currently undesirable but based on market trends seems to be primed for growth in the next 5 years.Any advice on research I could conduct before diving in, or other avenues I could explore to start and build my portfolio would be greatly appreciated.
