Even that's too high when you do a more detailed calculation

I am sure a more experienced investor will disagree.

The problem is that where they would like to get a home is far away from where I am or can get to at the moment.

I use the free version, but I know many people who pay for their services, and yes, I'd certainly recommend it.Many of my closest friends and family now use it as well, to keep up on a more personal level than doing so by phone, email, IM, text, etc.

If you have an accepted and defined access point from another property to your land, then you might have a more valuable piece then you think.Just food for thought.

One land parcel and one building with two tenants gives a more cost effective purchase and higher gross rents.The downside is you lose the ability to sell to owner occupants (for the most part), which means you are dealing with investors only.

So they're paying roommates, how relaxed should our relationship be... should I take the role of a more professional landlord or the less uptight roommate charging rent?

If you can afford the current payment, you could certainly afford one at a more reasonable rate.

Other noteworthy areas are Amapas and Alta Vista.If you are looking for a more Mexican flair head inland just a bit and check out areas like Pitillal or Buenos Aires.

I am not under these regulations and therefore do not have to worry about them.As an investor I can door knock potential sellers and tell them "I am not an agent" giving them a more warm and fuzzy feeling rather than their usual feeling of "just another shark agent looking for a listing" - You can not.
