Banks generally require 30% down on properties in the Virgin Islands, so about $225k down and about $2,500 per month mortgage payment.

Hi everyone! I'm completely new to investing, but I'm super pumped about getting started! My name is Manikia and I'm a mother of three beautiful girls and one very busy three year old boy. I am a military veteran, ...

Right now the biggest growth markets for agribusiness are in central California (Think Paso Robles-Santa Barbara) as it has a very specific mediterranean climate which is great for vineyards, lavender (which is going to be huge in the next 10 years), olive trees (has taken off and out paces new vineyards right now almost 2-1) and, in very specific areas- saffron.

I am open ears and I am merely looking for advice on how to proceed and whether or not Chicago would equate to a sound investment for a virgin investor.

I will either be having a martini with blue cheese stuffed olives with lunch, or iced tea ;-)These are the lots my partner and I want, the value is there at full price, but if I can get them cheaper obviously it's better for my bottom line.

@Juan Rubio and @Oliver Martin Hello and welcome to you both to BP!

Cut the board and the wood is basically virgin on the inside.

If you can brush off people's comments you will do just fine.The years will pass anyway, get your knocks in early.Buffett started when he was 11, Branson started a magazine when he was 15, Virgin when he was about 20.

Welcome to BP community @Angel Oliver   It is a great place to meet new friends and learn about various aspects of real estate and more.
