Our first visit to Riviera Maya and are considering a purchase there, and I'm in the due-diligence phase of evaluating our options.As a quick example,I have a friend who is a very successful entrepreneur in the tech field, mostly in the booming(and soon to be overwhelming) field of Artificial Intelligence.

My big why is to become a serial entrepreneur to enjoy learning the ins and outs of many different kinds of businesses.

I am a realtor/investor/ entrepreneur in Dayton, OH. 

i have an fha loan on my house hack and was recently looking into something similar. my lender who is super creative and entrepreneur/investor -friendly, had said that i either needed to a) refinance my fha loan into a conventional loan first, or b) prove to the lender that i HAVE to move.. some examples he gave were: one of our jobs relocated us, or we're planning to try conceiving and in turn need more space. do you have enough equity in your primary where you can refi into conventional?

I would say the difference is working a W2 vs being an entrepreneur.   

I would like to move to Austin (as there are many like-minded entrepreneurs there) and want to live on a ranch with 2+ acres, so I can raise goats, chickens, and have fruit and vegetable garden. 

Love seeing any entrepreneur hit a home run.
