A couple of thoughts:1.

A couple of years ago I bought 3 apartments from FAR in Medellin and paid FAR to remodel and decorate all three.

They service the state old-school with a couple of sales reps and lots of volume.

(Side Note: if you really want to jump your credit score in a few months (because it takes time for the reporting to update), and if your disciplined with your spending try this;1st) I went and did the math to see what my positive cash flow each month off my active income (let’s say you’ve got $500 left over after you go through your monthly spending avg. which is all you kick out vs what you bring in)2nd) Go get a credit card with 0% interest for 12mths with NO higher than 5% transfer fee.( their are some with low as a 0% transfer and I had got that one on my 2nd round cause my credit wouldn’t let me at first)3rd) do a transfer balance after 24- 48hrs of opening the card (Nope you don’t need wait to actually get the card just call in and tell them over the phone to send a Blanche transfer check to your bank account in the amount of your car Balance; because you’ve only got a 30day window of transfer with 0% interest for the 12mths)4th) PAY YOUR CAR OFF IN FULL, and take your old car note (let’s says it $450mth) plus your $500 positive cash each month and add all $950 each month to pay against the balance on the card5th) in 45days start checking your CreditKarma app (its free) and don’t worry about the 5% if it’s larger than your car loan % because once you’ve paid your car off your score will go up and in a couple months of $950 your car will be paid OFF not in 2more years or so...Thus saving you probably more than $2,000 in interest on the car loan (so you get to keep $$) and time in payments.Your saving money on interest (keeping it in your pocket thus making your pocket bigger!

I'm still fairly new to the world of Real Estate, although I've been researching investment strategies for the past couple of months, I still have a ton of gray areas and questions on where to kick start my investment career.

Our first property I bought before we got married so technically it is under my name.

They give a couple reasons why they want to sell FSBO or they intend on listing it if they don't get the price they want. 

I hope to someday marry my love for art, photography and Realestate investing, to create something that is unique and desirable.I look forward to hearing from those who have a positive and honest perspective and who are looking to be supportive and inspirational.

I wonder if borrowing from family is a good idea to get started or putting my money into a high interest account of some kind for a couple of years is a good idea or doing something else.I'm not worried about being overseas and investing. 

I’d definitely be willing to look in Nashville, as I have family there and travel back a couple of times a year.
