- I would have regular check-ins to make sure the property is being cared for and not destroyed.

From talking to locals, there's a couple of issues than need to be addressed, some are the non-ecological practices that some of those developers have, unfortunately, our government profits from this investors and allows them to destroy manglers (which are the natural water purifying system of that area) dismantling hectares of mangroves and degraded the habitat of resident and migratory species burying animals alive.There's proof of fecal material floating beneath the city of Tulum, only 20% of the water is sent to the water treatment plant, there's no infrastructure for the exponential growth.The landfills in the middle of the jungle that is leaking hazardous pollutants into the freshwater system and that something that developers won't tell you.I love my country and it would be a disaster for everybody if this place ends up like some other great beaches around the world, that are completely ruined by greedy investors not following the rules.There's no urban or comprehensive master plan, and one of the risks is that Tulum will be like Playa del Carmen is today, overgrown and with environmental devastation.I will advise doing a lot of research before getting something in Tulum, different country, different rules, and practices.

Quote from @Carlos Ptriawan: totally agree, key point is don't lose money by not having complete understanding of future risk.we're in the great collapse of CRE market and LP is destroyed because the passive investor is the dumb money, time is important but not to lose money is incredibly even more important , the total collapse in many commercial real estate sector is way beyond 2008 as it seems.Carlos, where are you seeing that "we're in the great collapse of the CRE market" ?

I wonder if he dealt with occupants differently, they wouldn't have destroyed the place.  

Quote from @Russell Brazil: Quote from @Bruce Woodruff: Downvotes can be used as a weapon more than upvotes....you get a little feud going (we've had a few) and someone with very few votes at all could get destroyed. 100%.

I saw a guy driving past a square mile of solar panels in Texas where every single panel was destroyed.

Do you ever have any problems with students in your units such as destroying property & not paying rent on time.
