@Kwanza P.I've owned property in both countries for years.When it comes to Mexico, I've shared my experience by replying to hundreds of posts on the topic on the forum.

My unit is located by Rose Medical.

Have you read, "Long-Distance Real Estate Investing" by David Greene?

Typically high fees, but still half of what I was being charged by the investors edge. 

Do you get energized by throwing your stack of cash on black and seeing what lady luck has for ya? 

BUTTTT there is sooooo mcuh garbage out there that you'll have to sift through to find the gold and then you have to learn it, put it in proper order, THENNNN take action. 

I'd send out 500 at a time, using a different mailer/method weekly.

Since you're open to markets beyond NYC, you might want to connect with local investor meetups or REI groups in those areas to build relationships with agents, wholesalers, and lenders who understand the nuances of each market.If you're looking to break out of analysis paralysis, maybe start by narrowing down one or two target markets and running numbers on actual deals.

The only piece of advice that I would give is that getting a STR to market is death by 1000 cuts.

Don’t be distracted by people with other plans and ways.
