Hey Jesse, I'm a local investor in Ft Myers, good to connect. 

I do believe it will help, giving me access to the MLS and can run comps and have knowledge of the market.Also, will be looking to house hack and buy and holds if I can get all the pieces to fall together.Will be attending meetups to network.Will be searching for my own deals with some local realtors.

A good way to find cash buyers is to visit your local REIA group.

i BRRRR locally and it's hard. 

The problem is not only that existing tenants suffer, but that local government will be pressured to pass legislation that will be extreme and engulf well run parks into spending unnecessary expense and complying with rules designed to provide residents with services they don’t want.  

But let's not forget the importance of cash flow, and the impact of federal state and local taxes on our assets and cash flow also. 

I'm a local investor and agent.

One lease for the entire house.I've got loans with 12-13 banks in my market (Columbia, South Carolina) and almost all of them are smaller, local banks.

Along with the same client is building a small resort on one of the Islands. to me the pros are things are based on english law and english is the language of the country.for us where at our age health care is important I would not choose to live there as an x pat.

I would speak to a local realtor that can advise for what to build that would be in demand
