That'll make some of the regulars on BP scream, but it's a fact.

But in the Caribbean, there is also very good rental income potential, since tourists and short term visitors (3-12 months) are always looking for vacation homes to rent.

If so, this would be a screaming deal.

Visit or have your agent take a look at the property, you dont want to get stuck with an asset that is not in the condition that you originally wanted to invest in. 

Multi's are the way to go, I don't even mess with SFH anymore unless it's a flip or just a screaming deal that I can BRRRR. 

Native New Yorker, extended visitor to Colorado by way of Florida here :) I happened upon this forum as I was doing research on Real Estate Investing and how the whole thing works.

What that must mean is that there are lot of operators out there and there are plenty of deals to go around despite many screaming that in their area, there just are no more deals.Strange. . . .

The process seems a bit more complicated for tenants but not too involved.The tenant called me up tonight screaming and yelling claiming he didn't like the way some repairs had been done.

I've also bid and lost on several deals (cash buyers are tough competitors).I'm obviously patient and will not get into a purchase unless it's a screaming deal, but am also frustrated that perhaps my expectations are a little too high.Friends who own several properties say patience will pay off sooner or later, as they regret all the deals where they compromised on price and paid too much for a property.

I then had to have the courage not to run screaming as it was so far out of my comfort zone.
