thank you @Mardochee Pierre very much although i do plan to flip it for a profit i would like to live there a year or two and make it a vacation rental when I'm not there and really don't want an inland house although i do notice a majority of the waterfront homes are actually just on a canal and there is the whole hones beech long beech rockaways etc... acting as a wall in my opinion.....mainly could you perhaps recommend an experienced inspector that could assist me when i visit the open house... they do provide all sorts of inspections and property information but i just don't trust them after all the whole thing is organized by some 3rd party company making a profit off the 6% commission at the auction so obviously they could be less than truthful... also any information from the state which owns the homes at this point i really wouldn't trust because i know the state can say one thing and than a local town official could come around and say oh no no you need to teat that house down etc...

Mainly, that finding a property that is not over-valued is very difficult with our current circumstances.

They are mainly in bigger markets.

I Googled: "homes for sale cuba" and found the following websites:1. http://cubahomesdirect.com/ (has listings on the main page and a contact us) that opens a new e-mail Even discusses Cuba Laws.2. the cubahomeforsale.com website that you linked to originally also has contacts that you can e-mail I always feel like it is easiest just to speak to someone. 3. http://www.havana-houses.com/index.php/en/ and So on and so forth...

We would like to set up a Computer as a Main Computer Data Base.

I guess my main question / concern is where to start?

Due to the fact that I don't have too much money, I wanted to ask of the idea of well.... getting a RE license if it can help me in terms of shorter-term real estate investment strategies (mainly Wholesaling) I am in Washington State by the way.

Over the course of these 10 years, we'll be mainly investing in buy and hold properties but are also interested in doing 1 to 2 flips per year.I've been lurking on BP for the last several weeks and am excited to join the community as an active member.

If you chunk up there are two main ways to invest in real estate, actively and passively.  

My main focus right now is multi family, but as I continue learning I'm sure I will be open to other types of opportunities.
