I've gotten approval from a US bank by using my Canadian credit history- RBC Georgia NA  (a subsidiary from RBC Bank Canada).The loan terms are:-25% down-7.625% interest rate -7/6 ARM-30 year loan termI was wondering if any lenders out here on BP are willing to play game and see if they can beat this rate. 

The bonus of Mexico is the cheap, short, easy flights.

Right now only about 1-2% of my revenue comes from GVR.I can imagine GVR becoming pay-to-play and you having to spend money to gain traffic from it at some point, but if you are working with a PMS that offers that integration for free (shameless plug of Hospitable.com 😉 full disclosure, I work there) then right now any traffic or bookings you do get are a great bonus!
