These investors are looking for capital for anything and everything from earnest money deposits, renovation costs of the property, downpayment and closing cost assistance for acquisition of a new property, or help with holding costs while the property is undergoing renovation and not producing income. 

Your CPA can't tell you if you will get part of the 10% withholding from the sale?

@Artur A. you're welcome.The general rule is you pay taxes in both Mexico and the US according to each country's tax code and then, courtesy of the treaty between the two countries for the avoidance of double taxation, you'd credit the taxes you paid in Mexico against your US taxes (related to the property only).If you invest in your own name or through a bank trust (fideicomiso), OTAs will withhold the tax to be paid to Mexico as a percentage of the gross income.

Not sure your timeline but there is is a backlog on permitting, materials, appliances, etc so take that into account with holding costs.

The market is  4-6 bedroom sfr or 2 fam residences. 6 bedroom may be 3 over 3  and may have been with holding?

Also your cost associated with holding (utilities paid by landlord or tenants, taxes).

I up the withholdings at my day job to cover sch C earnings through the year.

If it comes to that and you have a tenant friendly judge, you could owe the tenant up to 3x the amount of the deposit for withholding the deposit. 

But since i am not 59.5 years yet if I withdraw looks like 20% federal withholding charge and about 10% I have to pay in taxes which means i loose around 30% of my 401k amount which I  accrued over many years
