I'm not trying to sell you on or argue about Mexico; I just want to share my experience investing there and explain why I've chosen to explore other markets as well.

You've chosen a good market to potentially invest in.

Investing in properties tied to future area developments requires careful evaluation of project timelines and potential delays.

However, please be careful if you go this route!

Working on a few STR deals with savvy investor sellers and we are wrapping some really low interest rates so the DOS clause concern is very much alive… We have decided to go the land trust route w/ one of the properties to try to be as careful as possible.

I would be careful not being honest with these companies as it can be huge penalties etc. if you are not using the information in a fashion they say you are going to be using it for. 

These is where DSCR lending gets murky as there are some lenders that don't even care about this.

I've read through everything everyone has said, as well as carefully reading through the sales agreement and the final closing papers (that I did not sign but requested from the title agency)...

Even if you can in your chosen market get a STR worthy property you will be on the lowest barrier to entry segment. 

Why should they care about the long-term tenant performance?
