Maybe I should sell all my assets and buy Bitcoin at $11,000 a piece today.

Next step"If you could sell today, what would you like to get for your property, considering no closing cost, no realtor fees, and as-is condition? 

Quote from @Scott Tennell: What creative financing strategies have you found to be the most effective in today's real estate market, especially in terms of working with sellers or investors in challenging conditions?

Not sure what the process is like there but compared to NY, it is a faster process.We just toured an occupied 4-family in NY today with a client and the eviction process for those tenants commenced not long ago (within the last couple of weeks).

And if you still are hesitant to get started, and think this mentorship could help, I would have a list of very specific questions ready:If you issue is finding good deals (welcome to RE today), ask what Tom will actually do to get you more deals?  

If you're not sure what the fuss is all about, read this older post first:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/51/topics/1122635-the-s...Today, we're discussing a very specific question related to STRs: Can you buy an STR in December and still catch all the tax benefits of the so-called STR loophole?

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.

Don't know if any of those apply to you or not, but good to check with your lender today and get them to run your credit so you know what your targets are. 

Great appreciation and cashflow if you know where and how to buy.Wow, that’s impressive to hear in today’s market.

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.
