PM me and I can get you in touchwith some Wholesalers or Investor-friendly agents around Houston :) 

Abandon the Peurto Rico dream for now and look at more realistic/beginner friendly areas that still sport a large latin influence and strong rentals, like Florida (I've looked a little bit outside Miami..Boca Raton, Tampa, West Palm Beach, etc). 

I am remembering a lawyer friend advising her parents on land issues.

Hey there @Dan Wang - First off, amazing deal my friend! 

Also find some funding and some friends that can help catapult me to where I am trying to go.Welcome back Jerome!

Over the years I attended quite a few of these guru presentations always as friends' plus one guest. 

Here’s a breakdown of some top areas:Cash Flow-Friendly NeighborhoodsWest Charlotte: Known for affordability and strong rental yields, West Charlotte offers opportunities in single-family and small multi-family properties.Gastonia: Just outside of Charlotte, Gastonia is a great spot for investors seeking cash flow.

Is there a friend, family member, or colleague that has real estate investing experience?

@Scott Trench that's leadership my friend!

I’ve considered multifamily or duplexes, but from what I’ve heard, they’re unideal right now, so I’m leaning towards STRs.I’ve put together a list of areas that seem STR-friendly with good tourism appeal, and I’d love to get feedback from people who know the San Antonio market well.
