This only comes from doing a high volume of deals and becoming proficient as an agent, and from being well-known and connected in your local scene. 

@Kevin Smith @Patrick Sullivan @Eric Delcol @Mike LambertHello all would be curious to anyone's insight about tax advantages of investing in US vs Mexico (specifically Riviera Maya)... would love to connect and share info.I'm new to the REI scene and initially started looking at Mexico as a possible retirement location for my wife and I.

Sharing experiences and exchanging knowledge can be incredibly valuable as we navigate the local real estate scene.

If fear is the hold back, consider a partner with experience in the area.I am fairly new to the scene.

I believe those reasons include: lack of seriously big companies coming down there to employ people, mediocre night scene, lack of an urban presence, lack of water related commerce, lack of serious sports arenas, lack of water related activities such as boating where rich people buy huge yachts, etc. etc. etc.

The Cape has always been popular with families looking for housing that's affordable, safer, with better schools and a better nighttime scene for all ages.

It reminded me of that scene in War Dogs when Jonah Hill gets outbid. 

Although, I'm familiar in ways to helping you get started and can help you enter the real estate scene (especially in your location).

I quit drinking recently and I'm trying to meet people my age (24) through hobbies rather than the bar scene.  

Hi everyone my name is Brandon Young and I'm new to BP and the real estate investing scene.
