Lots of the people that go, do TONS of homework before, and its that homework that makes all the difference, that and skill at the auction which you will gain with time. 

So far I have not found anybody good lol I qualified for bigger loans in the U.S. but in PR banks are more strict.

You need to know where your money is going if not in your pocket.I know PM's that use their own repair crew and charge the same or more than a legit contractor who uses professional skilled subs with licenses and not handymen.

But would like to qualify it first.

Now that I've built up some investments in a non-qualified account, I'm looking to diversify a bit into RE and have access to a home that I could use for that potential.We're debating about making the plunge into RE.

You can even go as far as to say you work with qualified investors But I think where it crosses the line is when you say “I help you place funds”  that’s soliciting an investment.I’m not an attorney I just prefer err on the side of caution.

This allows you to qualify to the great products small credit unions have to offer. 

@Travis Walker - talk to a mortgage broker (like  @Andrew Postell - he is on this site quite a bit), and see if you can qualify for a long-term loan with your debt-to-income (DTI) ratio as it stands. 

So, now you can become part-owner of a building without you having to qualify for a mortgage yourself.and lastly, you can always get a job and be a W2 earner if #s1-3 are too much work for you :)Makes sense?

Multistory townhouses in non-elevator buildings are not considered ground floor dwelling units because the entire 8 dwelling unit is not on the floor that qualifies as a ground floor.
