I know a someone who does excellent work.  

Fix and Flips can be excellent in this market, just have to keep in mind that you Rehab should stay consistent with the market. 

You bring up another excellent point about third world countries, because if we are running a global system there are plenty of places that have to be brought up to a standard.

There are also HML's who are looking for capital and they can manage it as Account Closed would be an excellent source to help you find cash flowing rentals in the area.

It’s an excellent place to start, and can answer many of your questions.

BP has income calculators and there are others out there, personally I use an excel template which calculates cap rate and cash-on-cash return among other metrics.

My credit is excellent, I have a full time job, and I have lots of extra time to learn and put in work. 

Credit scores are excellent and we have sufficient funds for down-payment for either scenario, however we would rather not tie up our cash in down-payments so we can continue to make more purchases. 

So if you do your books - you should factor that in.If you only have 1-2 properties - you may find it easy to do them in google sheets or excel.

Regarding pics: the problem is the photographer is not available until next week for new pics.
