Because unless I go to college for eight years with money nobody has, Im doomed to the mediocre 9-5, survive, not thrive lifestyle/cycle forced upon just about my whole family.I honestly don't know my WHY statement...

All have their own nuances, things you need to factor for (a short term rental needs TP, and right now that is hard to get in most markets, and if you have too much on site, guests are stealing it, if you have any guests).The moral is start getting these down, they might be financial or they might be operation (number of units) or they might be lifestyle.

Hi Paul,I’ve been investing in Mexico for as few years now, starting in the Riviera Maya and working on a development in Puerto Vallarta right now.I understand that this is first and foremost a lifestyle decision so only you can know which one is best for you after spending time in both places.
