it's a nice, expensive place to live but tougher to house hack unless you buy a big house and rent out individual rooms.)also, as @Jonathan Greene alluded to, the more you're willing to sacrifice, the better it will work. 

For context, here's the home https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/943-34th-St-Oakland-CA-94...We bought it as our primary in 2014 for $590k and realized a nice run up in appreciation over the last decade, appraising most recently in 2022 for $1.2m. 

I go to investigate and there is a middle age lady with a nice wrangler (I suspect 35” tires, recovery points, not old (in good shape)).  

Hey Robin, thanks it's actually a creative finance deal with some value add opportunity, so I'm really looking forward to learning a lot from this Nice - sounds like a cool way to start

I have a pretty cool head about things, but it would be nice not to think about this at all. 

It also sits on 2 acres with separate buildings for animals and a nice storage shed.

A nice potential boost for downtown Louisville. 

On the other hand, we are 90 minutes from Chicago, which is nice if you have the big city itch on Saturday night.

Just have formation docs written as "last man standing" gets it all.

Should these taxes be at a more normal or Canadian-style level, the city of Tulum would have an even bigger infrastructure budget and you wouldn't hear about those issues in the same way.
