Proximity to new transport links, business hubs, or recreational areas can increase your property's value and attractiveness.6.

I also manage rentals for some private clients.

It's interesting to me how some of you respond on a public forum vs those who privately DM and want my business.

If you want to leave your IRA intact and avoid penalties or taxes, consider other options such as:HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit): If you own property with sufficient equity, a HELOC can provide funds for a down payment without tapping into your IRA.Personal Loan: Depending on your credit, a personal loan may be an alternative.Seller Financing or Private Lending: Look into creative financing options for real estate investors, such as seller financing or private lenders, which can help with down payments without needing to use your IRA.

Some items considering:- Chichen Itza- Swimming in cenote Ik Kil- Valladolid Centro- Las Coloradas- Izamal- Akumal beach- Shopping in Playa del Carmen- Tulum Ruins- Cenote Dos Ojos- Xplor- Parque Nacional de los Arrecifes (cozumel island)Have not yet looked into transportation or lodging for period outside the conference dates.
