For sure mate,I bet in higher end markets where you are based in, it's mostly clients F@$#%ing over the contractors..In Toledo, it's the other way around.We mostly get screwed over by contractors heheHappy Saturday 😁 

I know there's some thought out there that you should cultivate direct relationships with insurance companies or construction companies, but  that's tying yourself to one industry when the platforms like Airbnb or Zillow are where a much wider pool of potential tenants are looking.Long-winded rant aside, I bet Atlanta has a great market for MTRs (and probably STRs if the laws allow them).

People need confirmation that are trustworthy, do what you say you will do, and are easy to work with.

Hopefully they will close that one.But I am betting it is in there on purpose.

There are 100’s of PM’s in the Tulum area but probably less than 3% of them are trust worthy, registered and legal to operate such a company.

I'll bet you are!

Hey Diane, Your best bet might be to explore some off market options if you are finding that the retail market is inflated.

Find a trustworthy local real estate investor in your own backyard -  you can find them here on BiggerPockets or your local REIA. 2.

Your best bet would be to hire a hygenist to come in and review / do sampling to see where the mold exists and they also could get you proposals from remediation companies on the cost to remove the mold.

There are plenty of trustworthy developers in the area with a track record of success.
