Hi Guys,I've just moved from the UK to the Bronx and I'm looking to find out how everything operates over here and what I can do to get on site knowledge.I have a degree in building surveying, which is essentially facility condition assessments and while I finished top of my class I never actually managed to get on site and get that valuable construction knowledge.My plan in the UK, like I imagine many of yours is, was to buy houses BMV that required work doing e.g fire damaged houses, fix them up and sell them on at a profit.

I've just begun to take a stab at analyzing rental properties & the numbers aren't working out so far.

I feel there are different options to consider, but I've just been stuck on the fact that rentals just can't work in SF, even when you are holding at developer prices....I would greatly appreciate some different viewpoints on how to analyze this exit!

I've just started looking more aggressively.

I just recently found when I called the Office of Deeds they told me I had to come to the office to search their computers for the information.

I've just recently discovered The BiggerPockets podcast and I'm so glad I did.

I recently found a fourplex that looks promising.

I've just come under contract for a 12-unit apartment in Spokane, WA that was built in the 70's and remodeled in 2014.

Otherwise I will look for investors.All desirable property in Mexico will be sold in USD but as I've just shown you can still make loads of money, even though it's not easy (you have to have the right connections and ideas).
