TL;DR I can just add 16% to my cookie-cutter eyeball budget from 2020.

How hot/cold or humid/dry, etc. 

I have an opportunity to purchase 10 high dry acres for $500,000.00 near my current home which is considered a more affluent and growing area.

You need to make sure the basement is 100% dry or you will deal with water and mold problems, destroying your investment.

I have a home under contract, I'm looking at all of the upgrades required, roof, HVAC, and fixing wood rot are among those, otherwise the main things are cosmetic.

Online I see about 3-4 days but I don't expect my job to be easy so I think I am expecting 1 week.The Expected Project:-Repair of rotted door frame and two pieces of soffit-Pressure wash of of house-Prep Work (Paint Chipping, Sanding, Caulking)-Paint house 2200 sq ft-Paint 2 car garage (Only the top portion. leaving exposed cinderblocks unpainted.)

Biggest thing I have seen on residential is foreign national loan product have dried up.

During the pandemic, I tried to rent to visiting nurses because my market had completely dried up - both vacationers and visiting scholars disappeared.

Living in Iowa, this will be a great match during the winter months, when Belize has it's dry season and is not humid.If you research Belize, you will see it might not be the best place to invest, since there is very little market to sale in the future. 

First is what happens if something changes in your market and the airBnB rental market dries up.
