It's simply a terrible choice for a wet climate that experiences freeze-thaw cycles.

I really enjoy the concept of "creative financing" as saving money can be super difficult and slow in this climate, with inflation so high and INFALTION ADJUSTED interest rates at a low, its almost as I can make more money via borrowing instead of holding cash!

The advantage that a market like Indianapolis has is much stronger economic and demographic trends like population and job growth, a more business friendly climate and more favorable landlord/tenant laws.

It's not the 90% of the time someone gets away with it, its the time someone doesn't get away with it and pays the price, and in today's climate, it's not just a monetary loss they risk.

The house has a pool and is located in a climate where freezing is not a concern.

The area is known for its desirable climate, proximity to major employment centers, and access to a range of recreational and entertainment options.

@Rossitza IovtchevaThere are many other reasons to invest in Mexico and, in my humble opinion, it's the best time ever to do it for a slew of reasons on top of those you mentioned, the main ones being a rising middle class, a booming tourism industry, a growing number of visitors beyond tourism (remote workers, expats and retirees), the best possible regulatory climate for short-term rentals, much lower prices and costs, diversification and asset protection.

Specifically, I'm looking for a (mass) tourism market, an emerging middle class and/or an economic and political climate that isn't unfavorable.

If we weren't entrenched already we would be seeking a better year round climate in a vibrant city.

Great place to buy, population growth is strong, wage growth is strong, the climate is easy on homes (no hurricanes, snow, etc.) and it's a fairly landlord friendly state.
