Hi Maria, I'm based in central CT.

For example I have a customer in Zurich who needs a mattress and adjustable base that only exists in the USA and they don't want to pay retail pricing.I wish I knew how to do deals like this well with RE and had all the contacts.

My offer is usually based on his original estimate of the cost of repairs.

- Based on your experience, what should we expect for maintenance expenses? 

Sounds like you have a great base for real estate investing! 

It might be a weird time to pick up multifamily rentals since there is a massive apartment complex being built at the moment, but single family should be pretty safe.Also worth mentioning San Antonio is experiencing massive appreciation right now and a portion of that is certain to spill over into the Corpus area based on proximity and a lot of San Antonio residents vacationing there.

Obviously you are a minority - based on my anecdotal experience.
