My answer every time is commit to the business and sign up for Brian Buffini's Peak Producers course.  

Hey Jeff, first of all Congrats on taking the first step, which is committing to purchasing in Mexico.  

It gets kind of crazy and heavy time commitment. 

One other fee I would look out for is points payable upon Liam commitment.

If you keep at something long enough and are committed you will succeed even if you take a few lumps along the way.

We have roughly $75k/year to commit towards this goal, maybe more on really good years.Thanks in advance if you read this far...

Works great for me - most important part is if you do go this route, it will require a big time commitment to get everything set up (I'd assume it would with any software you choose to use) however once you get through the set up and familiarize yourself with it, your life will get a lot easier.

I don't want to be taking health and legal chances, but I am also trying to avoid numerous payouts before committing to purchasing the property. 

You said you have a full-time job and 2 kids so you need to understand the time commitment and learning curve.

I am essentially committing to years of financing and hoping the market keeps rising.
