@Choon Yee DeeRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

Pictures from 2017 look promising but I left enough meat on the bone to do a lot of work if needed.Fingers crossed!

Funny you mention the pilots license, for a long time I wanted to get my pilots license to fly helicopters, never ended up doing it but still crosses my mind every now and then. 

Quote from @Ezequiel Gomez Marin: Can somebody advice where / if I can find real estate wholesellers and private money / Hard money lenders in Puerto Rico?

This is what I did, when interest rates were a little cheaper and prices hadn't quite maxed out yet 🤣🤣🤣I own a 4/3 3k SF house right in 4 Corners (near Cagan's Crossing).

Just listed yesterday so fingers crossed Lessons learned?

I'm Antonio l from marin county  , new but passionate about real estate investing .

But it's still a bandaid and will pop out, crack, let water in, separate, and let the underlying wood rot almost as bad as regular bondo, after a few years.Napa, 3m, bondo, & Evercoat (marine), etc all sell polyester auto body fillers that are one step up from the prior with real "waterproof" claims etc, maybe priced around $30-50/quart or $75/gallon, range.

Just ask them to cross collateralize, so you don't have to refinance them.
