If you have questions about the builder I'm using, feel free to PM me.The land broker sent me some options to pick from based on the area I was interested in.  I

I am currently employed as a project engineer working for a GC that builds multi-family projects.

Specifically, what research results told you these were two good cities to invest in?  I

The only time I'd say it's an okay idea is if either: The area you're investing in is expecting so much appreciation that you will easily profit off that (watch out for mortgage interest though...the appreciation needs to be higher than what you pay in that and expenses to make it profitable)You have some specific reason for wanting to do it- family ties, future home, major long-term hold, etc.Maybe I'm forgetting another one, but those two are all I have for now...

@Anade DavisHi Anade, You’re on the right track with reaching out to your survey and engineering company—they often have strong connections to local contractors.

What other places in the area do you think would be good to invest in? I

@Phil SheltonYou would need a civil engineer to provide a drawing to get submitted to zoning and get a permit if it passes zoning is most common This also depends on the road - if it’s a state road forget it as it will take a year to get approved and cost a fortune - if it’s a local road process not as cumbersome but don’t expect this to happen quicklyIn some instances you may have to prepare sight distances etc to make sure it’s safe to add a curb cut

ya those are totally open ended questions your going to have to figure it out from here on your own or with someone else chiming in.. I

No one holds absolute truth, and there’s always room to expand our perspective through the exchange of experiences.I am fully aware of the Costa del Sol’s significance as an economic engine for the region and as one of the most globally relevant destinations.

After spending 25 years as a Software Engineering and Product leader, I’m now exploring the world of real estate investing (REI) and looking forward to learning from all of you.My goal is to leverage my current investments and savings to build a real estate portfolio that will eventually allow me to transition away from my current career.
