Of course I’m active duty and I’ve lived in that area three different times.

About two hours from Cambutal are Chitre and Las Tablas, the two closest major towns to get most modern comforts (McDonalds, big grocery stores, health food stores, etc).

I have been peripherally involved in my wife's real estate endeavors for a few years and I am looking to become more active as we acquire more properties.

Hi Guys,I'll be arriving to Jacksonville FL in few days (Nov 22nd) looking to buy a property.I am looking for a recommended realtor / wholsaler to show me around Duval county (or any other nearby counties you think worth looking into) and help locate the right property before we dive in.I represent a group of 5 oversea investors who are looking to build their local team to support our activity in Jax, so if you are this realtor or you know one please ping me !!! 

@Gustavo Gonzalez1 major reason (among others this isn't an all conclusive reason) everyone is talking about apartment investing via syndication as the best way to enter the multifamily  space, in addition to taking advantage of economies of scale is...., It's a team sport AND if you're just getting started (you stated "enter") you want a team that consist of good operators that have experience.    

Zillow seems to have the majority of rental listings, at least in Atlanta, and I bet they have a ton of data, which they don't share.

Also keep in mind I factored in 9% between CapX and repairs, assuming the age on the major systems isn't too old. 

As a follow-up to my own post, this is the verbiage I'd developed, which others can comment on:The increase in value of Separate Property, regardless of whether such increase or decrease is due in whole or in part to the direct or indirect contributions of either party and whether such increase is passive or active.

Since Congress did a major overhaul of the tax code recently, plus California has made some changes, it may be prudent to have a new set of documents done, and possibly do an amendment to keep your existing LLC document current. 

I apologize if this is a pedestrian post, but im wondering if im analyzing this properly, should just wait to buy a better deal OR if i'm hesitant  and scared just being an out of state investor.For what it's worth, I am an active realtor in Los Angeles and i have a SFR and Duplex in Michigan that are performing very well.
