Quote from @Andrew Steffens: I am curious what products exist?

Make sure any renovations comply with local regulations and obtain the necessary permits if plumbing changes are involved.

Definitely follow the regulations in the area and if permissible I would offer to attempt to find an acceptable tenant and terminate their lease when that happens but in the meantime they will need to continue to pay.

Very challenging if not impossible to make lot ratios work if the existing property isn't conducive. 

On the complete team thing. yes it does exist BUT it's VERY rare. 

Hi Robert,Given you are looking to buy another rental (long term), a cash out refinance on the existing property would be a good play here.

Just wanted to introduce myself.My name is Ariel, I am 32 years old (this Thursday), and I am making my first steps as a real estate investor.As I live abroad, most if not all of my work would be remote, and right now I am focusing on Jacksonville, FL.My main goal for this year is to fix and flip  at least 2 SF's properties, and for the next few years to increase this number, maybe do some MF, and possibly to also BRRR when I raise enough of my own capital.At the moment, my biggest challenge is the fact that I am remote, so I could use some help from a local realtor or management company.It's so amazing to know this community  exists, and I am thrilled to actually take part in it

there was a follow up post where someone got a loan from them but for realistic rates  8% or so and few points.. under 6% private / hard money simply does not exist unless its a family friends type situation. that bank rates or lower right now for new construction or fix flip  

Hi Aubrey,International lenders don't exist for real estate in that no lender in one country will give you a mortgage loan in another country.A good service to estimate revenue in Costa Rica or everywhere in the world for that matter is Aidna.

Be sure to understand the financing options out there for mobile home buyers and if you opt to carry the contracts on the homes you sell you should do some research on Dodd-Frank regulations.
