We are in the middle of major infrastructure and RE growth (res and comm) and need to know how best to handle the property we are on from both a short time and potential long term investment perspective.

Another consideration, @Jay Hinrichs, is whether the electrical infrastructure at the property can handle it. 

If you’re targeting a refinance for next year, it could be advantageous to wait and monitor the market.Overall, if you're not in a rush for another project and don't need immediate access to more capital, it might make sense to hold off on the HELOC and refinance together in 2025.

Infrastructure is a big bill right now for many communities and is driving a huge increase in property taxes.

I've learned that the unexpected always happens, whether it's delays or unforeseen expenses, so having a system in place to monitor finances regularly helps make adjustments before they become bigger issues.

From talking to locals, there's a couple of issues than need to be addressed, some are the non-ecological practices that some of those developers have, unfortunately, our government profits from this investors and allows them to destroy manglers (which are the natural water purifying system of that area) dismantling hectares of mangroves and degraded the habitat of resident and migratory species burying animals alive.There's proof of fecal material floating beneath the city of Tulum, only 20% of the water is sent to the water treatment plant, there's no infrastructure for the exponential growth.The landfills in the middle of the jungle that is leaking hazardous pollutants into the freshwater system and that something that developers won't tell you.I love my country and it would be a disaster for everybody if this place ends up like some other great beaches around the world, that are completely ruined by greedy investors not following the rules.There's no urban or comprehensive master plan, and one of the risks is that Tulum will be like Playa del Carmen is today, overgrown and with environmental devastation.I will advise doing a lot of research before getting something in Tulum, different country, different rules, and practices.

This is very common with local banks and credit unions - they dont have the infrastructure or volume to sell into the secondary market and simply choose not to offer those products in their business model.

One thing I did note is my insurance is $3K a year lower due to the monitored fire suppression system in these larger properties versus my smaller properties that sleep 12 or less built close to the same time.As someone who has lived in Illinois twice, the politicians there don't care if people burn as long as they can tax and spend.
