Feel free to PM if I can answer any questions, or do anything to assist. 

I'm sure there must be a reason you are picking a place thousands of miles from home to invest (not what I would suggest) but - I would travel to the area, spend a couple of days getting to know the place, and attend a REIA meeting to meet some fellow investors before I'd through a bunch of money at it.

Also, don't mind spending the time and effort.

Anyone to assist in laws, regs, deals, info, areas, would be greatly appreciated.

The thing a lot of people want is tax savings but not spending money.

The foundation company is now wanting to charge an additional $3500 to put in 4 more piers, not to mention I will have to spend another $4-$6k to repair and restain the hardwoods, which can't really be done while we are living there. 

I have only lived in this area for 10 years, and spend most of my time across the border in Juarez where I manage a production factory, so I am sure there are folks with much better knowleadge than I, but so far from my research, the Northeast, lower valley, and central/downtown portion of the city seem to have the most multi-family opportunities. 

Our licensing "training" does not spend a single minute on how rental income works in the mortgage math, kind of like if you could become a nurse without knowing how to give CPR or something. 

It will come down to your ad copy and spend time building a quality landing page since that will be the largest factor in their decision (let me know if you want some help there). 

Within the past three months, I have completed my associates degree and have been spending the time that I used to use studying for class to research more about real estate investing.
