I look forward to connecting, learning and sharing as I embrace the journey. 

Im sure there are investors who did I just haven’t met them yet..Don’t be so afraid in making mistakes, embrace your mistakes and learn from them when they happen because they will and learn from other who made mistakes.I already had to get rid of my first Property Manager in my short career and on w a new one now I know exactly what qualities I need from a Pm and if this PM doesn’t work out I’ll look for a 3rd...I suggest going to meet ups and talking w other investors, if my time permits I might be going to my first one next week.It’s ok to feel like you don’t know what you’re at first, with time that feeling will go away.Confidence will come with experience..I still consider myself a newbie w a little bit of experience, my confidence is growing and I’m now considering moving to a new market time will tell.Plan your exit strategy, having a good exit strategy in place helps me pull the triggers on deals..Good luck ...

If you do this, there has to be some sort of demand (tourism or work) in your market. 

One up side is Mexicali is an increasing destination for medical tourism.  

Ex: tourism market vs metro market, high cash flow, track record of appreciation. 

It's hard for the residential investors that have (made it) already in their minds to embrace they are beginners again on the next level. 

In Nevada, the property tax rate is less than 1%; however, their losses are regained from money accumulated from tourism.

I embrace free labor.It worked out in the end.

Years later when I ran into my own problems I latched onto that advice along with healthy eating (i.e. the selenium in sunflower and pumpkin seeds help give you a positive attitude - no joke), exercising and listening to positive empowering music (I'm a positive hip hop fanatic - check out Dead Prez's 'Refuse To Lose'.)Embrace the energy you feel is making you "nearly homeless" and turn it into steam to move forward and succeed.

The economy is supported by tourism and a military base.
