Coming from other areas and moving here, I've found Kentucky to be very friendly in the out skirts however my experience is limited to Lexington and Southern counties.

But Mathew's comments above have given me pause, as most of my friends in the neighborhood that could afford the rent of a new condo have a car (or two).   

@Duarte MarquesPossibly but highly not recommendedFor those with no real estate experience or experience in taking on debt, it’s not easyTo do it also with little to no down payment or reserves in most occasions will end in disasterReminds me of when in high school a friend used to let his dog drive his car.

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.
