About Puerto VallartaTucked away in the middle of the Bay of Banderas you will find a gorgeous tourist town rapidly becoming one of the most popular holiday spots in the world.

The property is located in a tourist town where the tourism has seen better days.

Your possible problem will be your visa into the USA.There is an investor's visa available but the investment amount is pretty substantial.There might be a question about arriving on a tourist visa and buying a house.

Look at bthe history of the town, rising up from a desert, to the number one tourist trap, to the rate of foreclosures today.

An example would be the sale of a motel in a tourist area, booms in the summer and dies or even closes in the winter.Residential deals are oten made when a buyer lacks the down payment and needs to contribute to the down early in the deal, I've done this many times.

Work someplace where you get a chance to meet local people, not tourists.

Of course, being me, I thought how funny it would be to show up with at least 5-10 other people and tell Rich how thankful we were that he was buying not only our food but our entire family(we can get some tourist from outside to play along) :mrgreen: No, really, I know that's not nice but I am going to Vegas Feb 12th - 14th if anyone locally or close wants to do a meetup.

I recommend because it is a nice vacation area without the usual tourist trappings.

I think you get a lot more tourists who are "there to play" and that won't fold a loser because that's not playing.We like to travel, too.

I am looking for the perfect 'tourist item of interest' I can succesfully sell to said tourists in Key West during the winter,,,and maybe the 'Blackhills" in the summerI love both places,,,nothing like enjoying paradiseMaybe come back home spring and fall and do a rehabthat would be an ideal retirement.
