In terms of maintenance cost and liability the PB Court is a no brainer.

Before wasting time looking for properties or spending a lot of time on projects, they should make sure they can get the financing because a) financing might not be available, b) they might not qualify or c) the cost of debt might be prohibitively right.Another mistake investors make is believe that they can apply a US strategy or financing model overseas.

I would ask around and get quotes on how much (cost-wise) damage was done.

Acquisition costs are low, so easier to generate good yields.  

In person its a place I could see maybe doing an investment or two in but its not where I really want to set up shop (I mean that literally; set up a home and also set up a wood shop - so I can build custom cabinets and stuff).If Santa Cruz, CA ever goes on sale then I'll go there and suck it up with CA laws and cost of living, but for the foreseeable future it is not even a remotely viable option; I looked at a fourplex there generating $10k in monthly income and priced at $2,700,000. 

So 560k loan  700- 140 = 560  X  15% =  79k in holding costs for one year.. so poof there goes your equity..
