Curious if people are bullish on this market or vice versa.I am a first time investor.

Generally speaking in the U.S. many vices are legal (g*ns, dr*gs, patent trolls, frivolous litigation as extortion, closed hand combat, prej*dice) but evicting squatters is virtually impossible...just jk obvs.

I have 375k into the deal, rented the property for two years at a 140kgross and will pay the owner off that note in about 11 mos. the property is now around 650-700k. depends on your situation but for the nominal difference your talking I say go for it but if you're leveraging the upfront you need to cash in the overage for the appraisal and vice versa if your cash up front then have the seller carry a note from my experience- it also shows that the seller believes in the project by doing so if they won't carry a note separately id potentially walk but thats because we do mostly cash deals and the inability of them to believe in what I am willing turn me off to the deal when your talking about this gap

We have the captain of the sinking ship syndication from BP with that calculator for everyone to use and then come ask on here why they cannot find cash flow or 1%.

There are many great opportunities for investment in your area where you will have the title and be the captain of your own destiny.

Or vice versa depending on how comfortable and profitable you would like to be. 

Typically Airbnb will blame your software and vice versa. 

For example above $1M-2M might be capped or vice versa, luxury properties could come with a premium compensation plan since they are more difficult to market and transact. - In competitive markets for hot properties, how the buyer's broker is compensated will have a major impact on the option the seller chooses.

Most investors are doing LLCs from my experience... but that doesnt mean you have to. there are some liability protections with LLC, along with a little anonymity if set up right. but also some added costs. one suggestion here is just whatever you decide, stick to it. some counties will see a transfer between personal/ LLC or vice a versa as a 'sale' and trigger property tax reassessment.  

Both are really attractive markets and they offer different characteristics; I know a lot of people that prefer PDC to Tulum and vice-versa, so it’s a case of different strokes for different folks.I’m interested in sharing facts and letting investors reach their own conclusions, so I did a side-by-side number comparison: Foundation and Population: Playa del Carmen was founded in 1993.Tulum was founded in 2008.That's a 15-year difference.
