thanksRyan  @Ryan RuppertShopify is a great platform for e-commerce, but it might not be the best fit for managing STRs in the long term.

And then I used maintenance, tenancy based on what I'm reading makes sense for long term, and a little bit of padding. 

Investors think in numbers, exit strategies, and long-term plays, while homebuyers think in emotion and monthly payments.What are some of the biggest differences you’ve noticed when working with or transitioning into real estate investing?

Lenders or investors who have short lock up periods but have years of experience feeding their business with new capital would give me more comfort but anyone who is just starting and is promising a rate of return or return of capital in a set period of time would be alarming because they very well could be reliant on fresh capital to make good on that promise and that usually ends poorly.

My plan is to set up a syndication fund with Canadian (and U.S) investors to purchase short-term rental properties in the Puerto Vallarta and Rivera Nayarit area (which is booming).

In terms of incomes I use the 30% rule.  

Mobile homes can depreciate in value over time (unlike land, which generally appreciates), so you’ll want to weigh the long-term returns.

As we all know, the standard way BP says to calculate cash flow actually leads investors away form long-term opportunity and leaves a lot of investors on the sidelines because they don't understand IRR and the multi layered dynamics of investing long-term.  

Quote from @Bryan Hartlen: @Jamie Parker are you having trouble getting properties under contract OR assigning the contracts to flippers?  

Hmm, the title company said they couldn't determine the amount, only that there was an agreement to the terms of another agreement... like a notice for hoa responsibility tells you they're responsible but not how much is owed.
