I know they didn't make appreciation on the note, that was a rhetoric response to another responder who didn't see the difference between the two investment vehicles.

The case will take them about one and a half years and they will get tired of it.

Just as encountering a faulty vehicle does not render all cars unreliable, the saturation of the 500 ft2 studio and 1-bedroom market in Tulum does not diminish the investment potential of other segments within the region. 3 bedroom + properties are still yielding solid returns (double digits).

I'm very tired of shopping for agents, I'm at a point that if they just do what they say they're going to do I'm happy.

But it was before and it's picking up again now.Properties are in Washington state, greater Seattle area but not in Seattle proper, not landlord friendly area still....I'm early 40's and tired of being a landlord or being tied to the area I don't want to live in anymore due to having to manage the properties (PM too expensive).

Plus I’m tired of opening up walls and watching $5k disappearFlipping was a great place to get started, but it’s not the long term answer 

i think Arbitrage used to be a good vehicle. nowadays, people are more knowledgeable about properties, usage and values and you will have a hard time finding a desirable property at a low cost rent enough to make a profit.

I'm not looking for "distressed" properties or "tired landlords".

Adding electric vehicles just isn't sustainable.

I have found this way more effective than mass media advertising which tended to get me either nothing, tire kickers, or unqualified candidates.
