If its a DSCR loan it is less relevant whereas a bridge loan may look harder at your current financials to make sure you can afford the loan.

There's no real hard and fast way or only 1 way or doing your first 2 points. your subject line suggests you're not looking to go to a large shop like a JLL or a CBRE which honestly I don't blame you those offices are usually pretty bloated.As far as monthly costs, if you are going to individually get a costar or other such license you are probably looking at $500-$1000 a month pretty easy in overhead once you have office dues, mls dues, marketing, etc. 

Maybe concrete single-family 1-4 units depending on the price point and cash flow.Also there is no real MLS in Puerto Rico you need to find an agent for each area you want to look at.
