There are rules to follow!

There are rules and exceptions to the rules -- it's actually pretty interesting if you take the time to research it.

Not following the requirements (within Seattle city limits will likely have additional rules and regulations) opens the seller up to liability.Additionally, the seller always has the option of offering "cash for keys" arrangement but be sure that no funds change hands until after the property is vacated and locks are changed.John

Has anyone also finished a project since the new rules came to place but placed a tenant meanwhile before they had these?

And I’ve bought 4 or 5 houses from 0% interest for a year credit card loans so don’t rule out those offers to combine with your 80k to buy something.

As a general rule of thumb it's smart to pay for 10 - 20% of the total costs (purchase price + rehab) out of your pocket and then finance the rest with hard money. 

You should talk with one that understands real estate rules and another that understands special needs trust and SSI rules. 

As a general rule, each entity that files a separate tax return (partnership, s-corp, c-corp, etc) will need its own QBO subscription.

Thus we broke two 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.
