I have made a lot of money in RE (8 digits) and have not purchased in over 2 years.  

Homelessness is a big problem in CA but they are also doing more than any other state to address it and homelessness only increased 3% there last year compared to double digits in many other states.

Investing in the US will smooth out some currency volatility if you are in it long enough. 

If you have substantial (usually means 5 digits or more) donations, tax planning opportunities can get very complex.

We were looking for something in San Jose Del Cabo, because it is a popular destination for digital nomads and remote workers.

We launched HomWork, in 2018, with the intent of acquiring SRO properties that we can remodel and remarket to digital nomads and remote workers.

But please for the love of all that is good, plan your exit strategy with their property management, because that has been a giant dud for me and do not see it getting any better should they continue the hands-off, digital approach to placing & managing tenants.

Most of my travel nurse / medical professional bookings have come from Furnished Finder but the other sites usually appeal to other tenant types like digital nomads, relocating families, etc.

Can you imagine the PR nightmare they’d face in this digital age?
