We rented to a two parent family with 10 children, who had a difficult time finding an acceptable place to live. 

So, if I were traveling to Porto to live and work remotely, here is what I’d expect for $1400 a month:*Why a mosquito net?

I didn't flip it, I lived there for about six months, then got a job elsewhere and rented it out.

At a high level, you should be working with an agent who;-Lives and invests in the same market you want to invest in.

I have a lot of family on the west side of the island so preferably Isabela county would be where we would want to live or have an investment.

This is my fourth house purchase, but the previous ones I renovated to live in.

It might be wiser to build the garage into a general common space or even convert the garage into a studio with a kitchenette to live in.  

Nice that you utilized STR activities, which help with your own living expenses.  

I will be living in one unit while renting the other in Queens NYC.

Because I’ve lived in Augusta my whole life, I know the neighborhoods and rental demand patterns (military, medical, and university tenants are a big driver here).If you’d like, I’d be glad to connect for coffee and share some insight into what’s working right now and what to watch out for.
