Talk to lenders, but to be honest who cares if it is over 800.I've had over 800 and over 750, lenders typically provide the same rate as long as it is over 740.

The custodian will check on the property/tenant every week to make sure everything is taken care of.

It sounds like you're in a good position to evaluate your options carefully.

Analyze potential rental income versus expenses carefully to ensure the property will generate income from the start.

I can imagine a juicy well taken care of property would not be up for grabs from another landlord.

@MikeLambert thanks for all the insight on Tulum I love the town and would like to purchase A condo For myself don’t care if it doesn’t make much money  but obviously would like a great location I am a dual citizen and want own property in MexicoI probably won’t stay there much if at all I just love to buy real estate one of my addictions 😂Searched online There are so many developments from $100k - $200k would be my comfort level if any of you guys have recommendations on location would appreciate it 

I told the manager I've managed a portfolio of short-term rentals and that my previous landlord allowed me to do it and loved that it created an incentive for me to take exceptional care of the property.

As an owner, I just want to know that the manager cares about my property almost as much as I do and is going to want it to be successful.

Be careful and please do your due diligence before investing with any HML!

Look into factors like vacancy rates, local job growth, and tenant demand to pinpoint promising markets.Once you find a property, work on running the numbers carefully—factor in purchase price, rehab costs (if applicable), property management fees, and reserves.
