I was in Mexico at the time and was not alerted to fact that I was then given 24 hours to resolve the problem.  

In Texas subdivision, I've been doing this so long, I keep the majority of subs and just get comparable bids when one seems to have their bid inch up from house to house or when one "leaves the country" ---for Mexico, I guess, tic...

I also did a timeshare on a Condo in Mexico and kept weeks 51-52 as compensation for putting deal together.

Your argument is that "I'm cherry picking data"... what a JOKE....WHY AREN'T NEW MEXICO, ILLINOIS AND NEVADA, TO NAME A FEW, EXPENSIVE MARKETS THEN IF YOU'RE RIGHT??????

@Candace MajediDon't know much about the new mexico markets.

First chart was the Atlantic in 2014, it does return on dollars.This is Wallet Hub's 2017 Analysis (Tax Foundation did one too mirrors it basically), they lower the number the more dollars received. 1 Kentucky 2 Mississippi 3 New Mexico 4 Alabama 5 West Virginia 6 South Carolina 7 Montana 8 Tennessee 9 Maine 10 Indiana 11 Arizona 12 Louisiana 13 South Dakota 14 Missouri 15 Oregon 16 Georgia 17 Idaho 18 Vermont 19 Wyoming 20 Maryland 21 Oklahoma 22 Pennsylvania 23 Alaska 24 Rhode Island 25 Florida 26 Ohio 27 Arkansas 28 North Carolina 29 Hawaii 30 Iowa 31 Wisconsin 32 North Dakota 33 Michigan 34 New York 35 Texas 36 Washington 37 Colorado 38 Virginia 39 Nebraska 40 Utah 41 New Hampshire 42 Connecticut 43 Massachusetts 44 Nevada 45 Kansas 46 California 47 Illinois 48 New Jersey 49 Minnesota 50 DelawareThis is naked theft from high income States who DEPEND on private sector dollars to subsidize States who basically are propped up by Federal Monies via grants, payments, defense, national security, and Govt Contracts.

Long term I'd love to be building multi family units and diversifying to eco tourism projects.So short term options we are considering: - holiday rentals Las Vegas / Florida / Mexico (Puerto Penasco) - long term rentals in TN, USA or within UKMy questions are: - Are my funding concerns valid and do you agree cash sale of cheaper property makes more sense or should we look to borrow and invest differently?

San jose del Cabo (los cabos), Mexico. 

The weather keeps people coming in, unlike, say, Detroit, and we have 4 hard borders, being Mexico, the Pacific, the mountains and the military base, Camp Pendleton.

Denver, Boise, Portland, Seattle, Arizona, New Mexico, etc...I don't really care about things like vehicle tax whether it is $60 or $100...that is peanuts, big deal.
