Even though the market will protect you one still needs to be at the top of the earning tree to even enter the game.ergo the fascination that CA investors have for the mid west..

One of the triplexes I bought, for example, was rented for about $900 a month total and I paid all utilities... 2 years later and it is rented for $1,400 a month and the tenants pay gas and electric... the rents probably still have another $200 a month to grow but I've kept 2 of the 3 tenants throughout this entire process saving me a good bit of money Nathan, great post and it got me curious -  I have always been fascinated by luxury multifamilily vs. the typical $650 a month apartment building.

Fascinating, you guys.

Flipping business is a fascinating one I'd like to deep my feet in eventually.

Reviews aren't end all and be all (I'm finding that a detailed contract with good terms and indications that the PMC provides good communication are what I care about the most) but it has been fascinating going through the reviews.  

This is fascinating!

It's been fascinating to learn about the Mexican residential property market, I've been making a lot of rewarding connections with good people, and there's much worse ways to spend time than tooling around the Baja in a jeep looking at oceanfront properties. 10/10 experience so far, would recommend.Mike, your body of posts served as a very helpful primer for buying in Mexico.
