And you’d know which houses to just abandon because even you can’t justify fixing them. 

Asking in the correct forum will get a better response.Read the RULES!

Here’s some perspective:1% Rule: Meeting the 1% rule is a good sign, especially with many markets struggling to hit this benchmark.Cash-on-Cash (COC) Return: 8.73% is decent, especially with today’s higher interest rates.

If you’re looking for a single-family home under $200,000 and you don’t care what city or county it’s in and you simply wanted to meet the 1% percent rule, you might be able to find that.

Have you read the TREC rules?

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.

Most investors are greedy they hear they need a 10% return the 1% rule or the 2% rules and thing its a failure you dont achieve that and then they take these risks they are not prepared to handle emotionally.

I am the only real estate investor with my bookkeeper and at first she thought this was a little overboard but once she started setting rules in Quickbooks to simplify her work she quickly realized how simple this method makes things.
