But it's so easy to take the same conversation in a negative manner - Compare yourself / business to theirs, learn what they are doing, immediately want to jump ship completely to do the ‘next best thing’ or feel stupid because they make it seem so easy when you’ve been grinding your dick into the dirt to get to where you are.

Look east of down town all the way to ship channel, its been a while since I been over there but I can share how I approached it.

Jon I was taking Tiffany's post to mean if you find a deal you can find buyers for it and make some money by putting a deal together.I agree that if someone with no experience finds a deal and wants ownership letting someone without a track record "steer the ship" will make it go down like the titanic.Ricky mentions getting funds but that could mean many different things for wholesale, purchase etc.

My hope is that in the offseason I can find a way to market to people to come a day early to enjoy the area and be able to enjoy a low stress day getting to the ship that involves no delayed flights or missed shuttles (Im even toying with the idea of offering transportation to the ship).

HOA boards are made up of homeowners who typically like to run a tight ship and don’t want to pay more than they absolutely have to.  

The new construction rents are pushing all rents up there (all ships rise as the tide rises).

I used to sell cars in Fayetteville, and every week there was some new guys being shipped in from across the country who always need two things if they want out of the barracks.

Remember investing in property is a business and you are the captain of the ship.

And, like a large cargo ship, markets have tremendous momentum and do not change quickly.

Progreso itself is a Mexican affair for Merida's middle class and only during the summer months, the rest of the year it's inundated with American and Canadian tourists from cruise ships that flock to the deep sea port, and then flood out into the other smaller bordering coastal towns in a deluge of Hawaiian teashirts and spf30 sunscreen, looking for *mostly* deals on real estate.3.
