Puerto RicoPuerto Rico has the advantage of financing a property as US territory.

@PJ Boxel, you are in uncharted territory! 

A prepayment penalty accelerates profit, which is danger territory with respect to Dodd-Frank.Only mortgage insurance can 'protect' your investment.If you plan to extend this type of financing on a regular basis, you should consider getting a license as a loan originator or hire a loan originator.You actually lucked out that this person caught the potentially illegal terms of the loan. 

This is uncharted territory for me, so I have no idea what to expect, and we're supposed to be closing this week!!!

I have had a couple of late night run-overs, but they had been good tenants so I just look at it as part of the territory; I'm sitting around eating peanuts and watching tv anyway so what do I care? 

Our new venture into developing and managing a commercial property is brand new territory though which we are discovering more everyday!

I to have had to go to court and evict, but that comes with the territory.

@Kristine Pedersen The sweet spot Temple territory is a pretty simple square- anywhere between Cecil B.

Talk to a local real estate lawyer and go from there.By this at least you should be sure of: tThe "scrub my tiles in front of me" and "barefoot yoga splinters" crap is definitely problem-tenant territory.

Once you can do that you’re ready for the bigger drones.Step 8 - Scout out the territory.
