There's a local supermarket in town that is vacant--right smack near downtown, high school and the college.

You still have to drive from home to work, the supermarket etc and vice versa.

I agree with Chris wholeheartedly, besides, when you buy a product, mark the price up without changing the product you basically have the business plan of every major supermarket in the country.

Since I live there, I know that Tulum badly needs certain commercial projects, and as it usually happens, the first to come will take away the biggest profit share.Luxury condo buildings and villas are still in huge demand, but so are big commercial supermarkets, a hospital and other types of buildings.If you are considering this type of investment, drop me a line.

none of the factors alone tell me anything, but when you put it all together, it gives you a better idea.Other data points are proximity to supermarkets & banks.

I guess when the acting gigs dry up, it beats cutting baloney at the local supermarket deli!

Look at the supermarket bulletin boards also.

I'm advertising on craigslist, putting up flyers in supermarkets, etc.

Taking out the trash does not make any more noise than leaving and coming back from the supermarket, checking my mail, or anything that requires leaving home for a period of time.

The same size apartment but brand new above a supermarket about 1mile from the property in question is listed for 500kUSD.
