I am seeking a private loan to facilitate the process.

Also, in PR, having a local facilitate that exchange - who knows the environment, smooths the way so much more.

While you may receive numerous inquiries from individuals casually browsing listings, focus your time and energy on serious prospects.

I'm a local investor and Realtor here in Jax and see numerous successful strategies being implemented. 

The squatter was out 5 months later due to numerous assault cases towards the staff and my neighbor.
