You know 35 years old making 500k a year spending 550k on their toys and just so full of themselves.

I took all the profits and bought my land cash, put a hefty down-payment on my current home and I live below my means, i.e. no toys, no living like the Jones's, etc. 

I always toy with the idea of investing in a vacation rental property in Cabo, but I am always hesitant to pull the trigger.

I certainly would not recommend using that cash on living expenses or toys (e.g., cars).

"Getting to Yes" by Fisher and Ury is excellent and they use a lot of real estate examples. 

It worked out fine.I also look for signs of pets: food bowls, litter boxes, toys, poo in the yard.

I'd rather discuss the four deals I got pending to close.I guess I'm just saying pick your path and stay laser-focused on it and over time the deals just start flowing in.

I do laser focused personal phone calling , emails and direct mail for any targeted property I;m going after. 

I have toyed with the idea of investing a bit south of the Ambassador Bridge but have not yet followed through on it.

•Demands that the landlord fixes blocked toilets caused by his children flushing toys down the drain.After numerous attempts to discuss the issues and come to mutual agreement, he continues to refuse to mediate, only citing by email or text his (incorrect) interpretations of the Residential Tenancies Act as his response.
