My best advice is to visit the courthouse sale and observe.

What are other sites/places to visit where I can find better deals?

Trying to manage an investment property portfolio remotely comes with some unique challenges.

A property like that with it's unique situation, the seller might accept a offer with a 30 day contingency.I'd ask the realtor why she believes the seller wouldn't reject that offer and post back what she says.One simple metric would be how long has the property been on the market?

-Visit the property and ask yourself if you want your family to live there.On the side note, would this research be published?

Our option is essentially a glorified catastrophic plan with a few "covered" doctor visits per year thrown in. 

I think it would be great If I can essentially stay there for free if I visit often because I love to surf and also Rincon Puerto Rico is growing in tourist population.  

I am doing two projects in Fountain Square right now and was just there this morning visiting them.

At the same time, I'm starting to visit local property auctions to get a sense for what's out there.  

This town was a town that I enjoyed visiting as a kid, but due to the economy and horrible decision making by the local government, the entire place is in shambles.
