I don't know what you mean by it's looking pretty bad, but I assume that means long grass, weeds in beds, etc.

I'm sure from Dallas the grass looks a lot greener in Corpus Christi.

In the last 4 months of learning with TaxLien Code and WealthCon (Ryan Pineda) , we are one step closer to purchasing our first property; any valuable advice is always welcome! 

I'll take a look in areas closer by.Quote from @David Cherkowsky:@Nicholas L.Thanks for the detailed response.

Closer than 4 hours if possible.

Well what I was thinking that I could do was look for a tax deed property in a decent area (closer to one of the colleges in town) and use my business credit to acquire the property and to renovate.

If you are more concerned with building equity and buying appreciating assets, you can target some of the areas in Philly that are closer to the 1% rule with the thought of building up assets to borrow equity from.

In Arizona minimally you are spending at least 300k for a decent rental 3bed 2bath 1500 sqft and on avg at least 400k which is going to require minimally 100k down and closer to 150-200 if you want to cash flow where avg rent is the 2300$ range.

I do think the rental market is ok, but I have found that a lot of NJ investors just look out as far as the prices drop.There are a lot of cool towns with better rental opportunities likely a little closer to you, but it depends what you can spend and what your goal is.

Tulum has significant plans for the future, and many Mexican politicians and private sector players believe that it will surpass Playa del Carmen.Overall I believe specific locations in Mexico are great investment opportunities, as the world splits into east and west, bringing production closer to home is becoming a priority for major Western economies.
