So, just to point out I am extremely new at this so pleas bear with me. 

I have 10k that I could put towards my investment.The few realtors Ive spoken with have basically told me that it'd be extremely tough to find something within my budget of 150k.Im wondering if i'm being too picky or unrealistic.What I want:3bd/2bath single family (or smaller if it has an inlaw suite).

What I can tell you is that I am motivated, strong, and extremely excited to start learning the ropes.  

I am extremely motivated and any advice I can get is greatly appreciated.

@Tye Brooks- Interestingly enough a while ago I listened to podcast 029 by @Dawn Anstasi and she addressed this very issue extremely well.

Lending in Belize is extremely difficult for foreigners with very high interest rates. 

The lack of insurance made me extremely wary.

Reason I ask is because what would happen in the event that after the LC was executed, the tenants were to completely trash the property (or some other scenario causing extreme property damage) and the expenses to repair would be so high that it would not make any financial sense to repair and re-rent out, and so the new owner decided to cut their losses and strategically default? 

And where I am isn't half bad-- I don't work 9-5, I work whenever I want, I don't deal with a single headache on any of my properties (only occasionally with my PM), I was able to get extremely creative on financing, I walked out of my corporate America job, and now I live on the beach and sleep in whenever I want.

In over 70 years of having extremely good luck I have learned advice is only noise unless it has been requested so I will stop for now with the recommendation to pay attention to the Nike motto: "Just Do it."
