If you are budget conscious and keep track of your expenses, it will not add any value and can even be riskier and more expensive as the rate arbitrage between HELOC and mortgage is not in your favor.Sorry, but I don't know how to make it any clearer, so maybe pictures will help. :) As you can see from my amortization schedule as of January I should be at a balance of $287K and as you can see from my corresponding statement I'm at a balance of $229K.

@Marco Teixeira I'm looking into it as well, the main two issues I'm trying to solve are that not only you have to find the property but be conscious about to which city hall that area belongs, that makes a huge difference in time frames if you want to license it as senior living, the other thing is scale, it's more management intensive (staff 24/7, doctor visits, nurses, food, etc...) therefore if you don't have enough beds it might not make sense, you'll end up having to charge too much per person for you just to break even, that being said there is definitely a HUGE demand for it.

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.
