SIOR is the Society of Industrial and Office REALTORS so you might guess that while a number of us have retail and/or hotel experience, there is an admitted concentration of (go figure) industrial and office brokers.

Luckily, I love bargain hunting so was able to do a champagne redo on a beer budget (American beer at that!!)

But maybe you were referring to the game Americans refer to as billiards and most call pool.

@loki:Americans can indeed own property in Mexico either directly outside the "Restricted Zone" or via a guaranteed trust within the "Restricted Zone".The "Restricted Zone" is defined as any area within 100Km of Mexico's International land borders and within 50Km of Mexico's coastline.Residential and commercial financing can now be obtained through American banks and American Title is used, which is great for investors here in the US.I'm always open to questions and dialog. so feel free to ask.Thanks for the welcome.

I am a professional real estate investor from Florida (originally from Australia) and I am looking to team up with an American Citizen to do some investing in Charlotte North Carolina.I have located several great properties- heavily discounted in good areas, that I plan to re-hab and flip.Elisa G

Bad for Americans who want to go across the pond or anywhere else for that matter (sadly, even Canada).

I use First American and they provide me with a weekly list.

Is anybody offering commercial or home mortgages with central american real estate as collateral?

My realtor keeps encouraging me to get a home warranty through American Home Shield, but their reviews on the web are not impressive.
