I live in Rio de Janeiro and for more than 30 years i follow the economic issues and growth.

@Dean HulsingOnce you understand the environment in which the business operates (local tenant population, average rents, physical and economic vacancy rates, the growth / decline of the local economy, the risk of the local economy (i.e. does most of the tenant population work for a single (cyclical, declining, growing) employer)), then you can compare the business (property) to its peers and evaluate its shortcomings and potential.After the above, you should be able to put a value on the business and, if it looks to be a profitable, long term venture, issue a Letter of Intent (LOI) with your offer and deal framework,  If accepted, you then dig-in and conduct the formal diligence.

It sounds like your first task is to search the forums.

Instead, the county council is restricting rural growth (unless you're a Master Builder campaign contributor) and channeling it into the western urban county.Seller situations vary, too: The seller of the low-priced comp home may have had very motivated sellers who accepted a lowball offer. 

Second, we can continue to grow the PM business as an additional income stream.

That all being said, buy and hold properties provide equity value to your portfolio and long-term growth of your business enterprise.

Great Goal @Spencer Hayek Write that goal down somewhere you can see it daily or weekly and put together a punchlist of smaller tasks you will need to do to complete that goal.

Although I make a decent salary, and benefits provided are nice, I don't have much more room for salary growth, and it just isn't going to cut it if I want to give my family everything they deserve.  

If the deal still works it should be a go.Appreciation and rent growth is icing on the cake.

I am working on similar tasks for my employer.
