I can’t speak to it though.And I will add another one, because I really had no desire to return to Mexico, but was just reading an article about this topic, and it mentioned most of the places on my short list, and also added Isla Mujeres, so now I plan to explore that area a bit as well.

You have plenty of spin off podcasts for the other hosts/ topics.  

Good conversations on this topic.

I wanted to ask for the advice of the experienced investors who have purchased multi families units (especially duplex's) on a few topics.1) Do I still need to vet the current tenants at the duplex?

Good job.Rather than respond point-by-point, I will give you thoughts on one topic and maybe later posters can take on different topics.Step 1 is pay off your primary's mortgage.

I am happy with both and they have been in operation for multiple decades so your mind is at ease working with these groups.Due to unforeseen circumstances I am actually looking to sell one, if you interested PM me:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/517/topics/1194691-equity-shares-available-houston-and-atlanta-multifamily-portfolios

you have Newburgh, the Lehigh Valley in PA, northern Fairfield County in CT... here's what happens to folks who buy far away because the price point is low:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/1137397-balti...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/1160450-run-i...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/963/topics/1195280-expe...

I'd say the majority of our members/guests are actually out of state BRRRR investors too. https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521/topics/1201427-re-o...Our speakers this month are actually out of state investors in (Oxnard, CA to Ohio) who were recent guests on the BP Podcast. 

Then the guest speaker started discussing some legal topics and I thought some of the advice was not great (since I handle real estate transactions on a small scale) so it turned me off a bit.

Erwin - There are many thoughts/perspectives on this topic...
