There's actually a huge oversupply of properties in Tulum and none of my friends who own property there make anything close to that!

local REIA groups are filled with investors looking to buy properties.

We don't allow any "deal-making" in the forums, which includes advertising your services or properties, looking for partners, etc.

Max of three rental properties.

Commercial Revenue Generating properties like office buildings, apartment buildings, retail centers, etc (banks call it "CRE" lending) are typically evaluated from their net operating income, not gross.

Some areas allow commercially zoned properties to share one large septic system (think sandmound or gravel type system) or would they require an individual on-lot septic? 

$1,500-$1,600 is about the going rate for a 2/2 in most average areas of BR, but I can see where some neighborhoods would get more.Another thing to think about - if the property is sitting vacant right now and you have ready and willing (and qualified) tenants, then the opportunity cost of waiting an extra month or two is $1,550/month.

Went and viewed about 10 properties, made an offer on one without a buyer's agent, so that the selling agent would double end the deal and they accepted a below ask offer at a time when prices were climbing.How did you finance this deal?

I came across this brand new property, in a great intersection that’s leased out to LazyDog restaurant & running well.

In my case, I have residential rentals in one LLC, commercial properties in another, self storage in a third, and my real estate company operates in a fourth.
