Instead, focus on immediate delivery units or work with reputable developers—we have a trusted list from 9 years of experience.For something even more under-the-radar, there are also other emerging markets in the Mexican Caribbean that are becoming very attractive for investors—less competition, lots of potential.Let me know if you’d like more info.

I would suggest to contact a reputable PM in the area to get the real feel.

I’m having issues with them as they’ve grown & only worried about their  reputation & anyway to make extra money.

Since most of the homes that flooded took on electrical damage, you will almost certainly need to file a permit to do renovation as you will need the electric company to shut the power off, provide temporary meters, and turn the power back on.

If you are working with a reputable company, then you buy the property, hold the property and look up 7-10 years down the road and have a home that has increased in value and a debt that has been reduced by your renter.   

Hi @Rene Hosman -In a nutshell, I find motivated sellers and tenants with damaged credit (or ones without a large enough down payment) and work to put the tenants in the seller's house with an option to buy.

Hoarding becomes a violation when it presents a fire hazard or other safety issue, attracts pests, or potentially damages the property.

We have an STR in Swannanoa that wasn't damaged and have had several week+ long bookings since the storm (including Army Corps of Engineers, etc). 

No matter where you choose to invest, please keep in mind the following (copy & paste):--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a Class A property in Class D area, what quality of tenant will you get?

Damage to the property?
