Hey Bob, Really appreciate it, yes I have heard some great things bout REIA meetings, been to a few definitely seems like a great place to network and get your name and face out into the community that you are serving. 

I actually work on a lot of deals down here in Orlando that require it to be a mail away due to the clients being out of state or international. 

Out of the 1,774 calls that were answered, agents were able to set a total of 19 appointments with prospective clients, and 11 referrals were received.

Working for a client that found a SFR with a permitted MIL.

I help out clients part time (usually investors become I enjoy investing so much), but 3-6 single family homes per trade for rentals and get to look at homes on the market at will.

These days I checked several threats in this nice Bigger Pockets forum and found several people have already asked about investments in Costa Rica.I know how real estate investing is done in the U.S. and I also know, that you can't use the same approaches and strategies 1:1 for Costa Rica (some strategies just don't work here).In Costa Rica I am specialized in high-yield investment deals (8%+) in the San José area and also in high-end luxury properties with great ocean views and good rental income potential in luxury tourism.One of my projects right now is providing a larger investor client/partner of mine with 8%+ yield p.a. real estate investment deals (in the 200k asking price area per unit) in great neighborhoods in growth zones in and around San José.

I’ve lived in Korea twice for a total of almost six years, taught English as a Second Language, served in the Marines as a Supply Administration Clerk, and had a whole mess of odd/dirty jobs in the States and Canada.

I use 10% for management, but have had clients pay everything from 16% (10% plus 1 months rent every lease signing) to a flat $50 / month.The real questions - what value add opportunities are there?
