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.

I think comparing to the two-- syndications vs index funds-- is too difficult because of the nature of the specific RE under the syndication versus the broad economy(global and domestic) the index funds capture.

In Canada, for example, the average mortgage term is 5-years, so every 5-years you renew your mortgage and have the opportunity to pay down as much as you would like (if you wanted to pay more than the payment restrictions of a fixed-rate mortgage).If you want to pay down your mortgage more quickly and cannot afford to increase your payment, simply switching from the default monthly mortgage payment to accelerated bi-weekly payments will reduce your amortization by ~12% (the extra payment per year from the accelerated part) and reduce the overall interest paid by slightly more (~14%).Naturally, if you increase the bi-weekly payment, you will pay down the mortgage more quickly.
