This is not yoursituation, but just to walk through the different thought processesin Holding/Selling that a friend of mine is going through.Helped my friend getinto the Self Storage business and walked him through the wholeprocess from evaluating the market, selecting a site, developing thesite, systems, financing, insurance, etc.

It's the same thing when you put your info on sites like Zillow, or Redfin looking for a home.You are only going to get the realtors or lenders who are signed up with the website.

Good luck.I also plan on visiting PR(san juan for now,  maybe ponce as well) in November for fun and to learn more.

By any chance are there any agents on this site from there?

All comments are hidden on social sites.

You might also meet title agents who have resources on, say, foreclosures or probates…and might recommend lenders who actually lend on more difficult projects (as the title companies also know which lenders can close and which are difficult).I also go visit open houses to see what sorts of finish to put on my renovations or to look for the next house or area in which to purchase.  

Consider a market that you visit often, have family in, went to college at, spent time in the past.You will have a better sense of what the good / bad parts of town are compared to a city you never visited.Best of Luck!

I have a mix of MTRs, STRs, and a room rental and I can perform all the needed property management and bookkeeping features on the site. 

Quote from @Theodore Sutton: Check out the site meetup.com and also the events page on BP for meetings up in your area to meet people like this and build relationships.

You can take his advice to heart many others on this site are merely brokers..
