For these reasons, it's safe to say that short-term rentals are neither gonna be banned nor heavily regulated.When it comes to the decision between buying new build and resales, it is important to understand that properties that are considered too old are much less popular in Latin America.

- make sure weekly rentals are legal in the area you are considering - many towns are banning them or putting on a 30 day minimum. - get specific vacation rental insurance, otherwise a claim could be denied - try CBIZ - we have seasonal lake and mountain rentals (summer is peak).

In Tulum, it's maximum 3 so big hotel chains are de facto banned.

There seems to b an awful lot of complaints about FreedomSoft.

Can't imagine going through something like that.Hopefully BP will do the right thing and ban this scammer!

The ban was only for certain residentially zoned areas.

There are a few areas that have banned short term rentals and a few others I'd recommend you stay away from as I suspect they will follow similar routes.

A watch list won't be updated by someone selling their property and it would take too much effort for someone to prove they now have a new controlling interest in the property and that the old listing ban has expired.

What I find interesting is I have talked with people who will not vote for a party who will not let them make their own decision about their body (referring to the Republican's proposal to ban abortion), yet they think a system where the government would dictate their health care is great.

The ban can be extended for up to a year.
