@Robert Brown personally I'd avoid Sosua, as it's a destination for sex tourism.There is also Santo Domingo, which attracts business travellers as well and the nearby beach city of Juan Dolio.

Select someone who will personally invest in your success and the commission which you pay for their service is a wise investment.

But I personally don't see prices going down dramatically anytime soon. 

When it comes to a 3.5% fha vs a 5% conventional, I personally prefer the 5% conventional because the PMI automatically drops when you hit 80% LTV.

Personally I would pass, the margins just aren't there.

Short-term rentals can be great vehicles, but ALWAYS HAVE A CONTINGENCY PLAN.

How about creating your own personally guaranteed debt fund to enable you to borrow your down payments at 8% fixed forever interest capitalizing?

CONTEXT-(30k in credit card debt, split between 4 cards, mostly in charged off status)(one vehicle loan that was charged off, is now caught up to current, not paid off, 50k original loan amount)(some card companies are contacting me trying to make a deal, so likely only have to pay 20k of debt off.

Some big recent news is Walmart requiring all remote work to now be in person for thousands of jobs.
