What Russell said, house hack your way to the next property.

@Hector Espinosa Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a Class A property in Class D area, what quality of tenant will you get?

A DSCR loan is going to be your best bet.Rule of thumb, 80% LTV with a decent fico score all day long.You can close in an LLC.Hope that helped!

I've always wanted to own property in the carribean

I will be buying the business using a sba loan with 15% down and my plan is to build one apartment immediately upon owning the building.

The rehab would be mainly cosmetic, floors, kitchen, bathrooms, paint.
