I always make tenant do it as a hand off a property and recommend they do it on move in day while they are there to react if something goes wrong, having a water key nearby.  

For context around our area…population is less than 200 in our immediate area, nearby is 2,000ish, and closest metro area is a little over an hour.

Yes, you make an excellent point about Puerto Rico not being as big of a vacation destination as some of the other areas nearby. 

For example In Norristown PA, a nearby not good area, section 8 will pay $1300/month for a 3-BR, whereas free market in that area would dictate something closer to $700 perhaps.Paying for tenants is likely on the edge of legality, but I can understand the motivation.

It's a very nice area as I live nearby and within a reasonably short distance, there are expensive homes that are very nice, , but also some that are small. 

Our wishlist includes a view or access to the ocean for surfing and at least a nearby marina or launch for a boat, although our initial target area is in Rincon. 

GSP airport is nearby.

That = stockpiling cash.....

Hi Adrian,I'm experiencing something similar with my place nearby (on Riverside Dr in Edgewater).

Unfortunately this is not an option for us as there is no inventory available nearby, and NYC prices are out of range... so we are shifting our perspective to possible out-of-state investing in order to get started down the path.
