Attending real estate events and establishing professional networks with other industry members may yield insightful and beneficial connections.Trying out different forms of finance, such private loans, government-backed credit programs, or joint ventures with other investors, might also be helpful.Real estate investment requires a great deal of flexibility and open-mindedness because there are several ways to succeed.

@Matthew Ginsberg, I'm guessing the provider of the water and wastewater is a government entity that can lien your property if the bill goes unpaid.

Where do you think housing would be had the government / fed intervention of 2020/21 never happened?  

Area of town can make a big difference on the type of residents that the property will attract and the level of work and risk involved in operating it over time.Sounds like it is an older property, which is okay, but increasingly lead paint, asbestos, etc. are concerns to residents and government regulators. 

Not that I'm aware of with any of my landlord clients - if there's a government shutdown that could be a possibility, but the payments will always be prorated for any missed payments.City wouldn't intentionally delay payment once you're setup and "in the system"... they want to keep any voucher tenants housed and out of shelters. 

I generally dont invite agents of the government to come inspect my properties unless there is a good reason to. 

My hope is that all the money invested in Tulum will lead to significant infrastructure upgrades and investments either by the government or private industry if things get really bad.

why would you ever want to transfer money from a never taxed Roth 401k to a regular 401k unless you want to give your money to the government.

I'm all for paying taxes and helping our government but damn is that like a knife in the back (LOL).Well it is what it is and I can't wait to see some of those deductions and allowances you are talking about!

Yes, its the government and they are lazy and inept until you put them on the path.
