@Florsabel De La RosaPunta Cana gets two thirds of the country's tourism but most tourists go there for the all-inclusive resorts so you have pros and cons and a lot of the money has already been made there.I prefer the North Coast indeed  and specifically Las Terrenas and the Samana Peninsula.

I also pause a bit because you mention 10%… Is the other 90% private money/lending?

When you run your comps, are you using comps from when you got the hard money loan, or are you pulling fresh comps before your refinance?

The idea that you can build wealth without putting any money into it is a recipe for disaster and the sales pitch of gurus trying to steal your money.

(Now, if you can do an STR or MTR, you can juice your rental numbers, but you're also doing a little more work.)To me, appreciation is the real money-maker in real estate.

Hello All, I am under contract to buy a duplex via a wholesale deal and have already given the earnest money deposit.

Take this money and reinvest elsewhere 

I put 35k of my own money to rehab the property and get it rental ready and opened up an LLC. 

The mid-term furnished rental model  has been a consideration.

This will be a major expense, so I want to make sure its worth it compared to other options to spend my money.
