For example, if you are in a secured position and invest $25k and can get 10% per year at $2500 or you can get 15% unsecured which is $3750, are people willing to risk the extra $1,250 a year where you could lose all of your $25,000 investment compared to being secured where chance of losing it all I would view as astronomically lower?

(any feedback on that estimate is appreciated BTW).

I would like a feedback on should I buy a home now or wait for opportunity.

Thanks,  Appreciate all the feedback.

There is plenty of supply so I would either pass on this or write them an offer that makes sense from your position.

Certainly if you pay cash for your property and possibly if not likely if you use some source of financing mentioned above, you should be cash flow positive given the much lower costs in Mexico.

Quote from @Luis Pereiro: Quote from @Jay Hinrichs: what position that's an important factor.. bare land notes generally sell for a 20 to 30% yield. 

I spend a lot of time listening to audiobooks, and a lot of those books are actually more geared towards the mind and being positive (you mentioned mans search for meaning, I just finished that).

Thank you for the indepth feedback to the original poster.
