Hi Patricia, If I offered to help someone I would refuse money but I would probably accept a working lunch and I'd certainly appreciate a gift certificate (restaurant) or nice thank-you note in the mail.

But all those hotels and restaurants!

Anyway, this story is ongoing but I made some progress.So I got the house under contract for 72,500 - after exhausting my potential buyers from REI club friends, I BUY HOUSES ads and craigslist responses as well as meeting with a member from here - they told me the price was too high and that two families would typically go for 55 - 65k max in this area.By chance I was meeting my realtor in Jersey City in a bar/restaurant where she happened to know the owner - and he does lots of buy and hold real estate.

Knowing that the Mexican RE market is different than the US I'll try to explain some of the steps in here so you can get in sync with how it works.I'm currently buying foreclosures in Mexico City.

You should join us Feb 26th if you can at Tony M's restaurant on Creyts Road at 6pm. 

If you're a server, there are plenty of restaurant jobs out there.Sorry to be negative, but you have to realistic.

Gordon Ramsey could sell you an program on how to be a Fortune Builder master chef and open up a Michelen Star restaurant and make bank. 

If you are within walking distance to restaurants and shops, then 1 bedroom apartments are very attractive to young professionals.  

So, I buy restaurant cards, Starbucks and some department store cards. 

Hey Everyone,I'm a 28 year old life long restaurant industry worker.
