Risk assessment and mitigation: Quick analysis of crime rates, school quality, economic stability and environmental risks. 5.

From talking to locals, there's a couple of issues than need to be addressed, some are the non-ecological practices that some of those developers have, unfortunately, our government profits from this investors and allows them to destroy manglers (which are the natural water purifying system of that area) dismantling hectares of mangroves and degraded the habitat of resident and migratory species burying animals alive.There's proof of fecal material floating beneath the city of Tulum, only 20% of the water is sent to the water treatment plant, there's no infrastructure for the exponential growth.The landfills in the middle of the jungle that is leaking hazardous pollutants into the freshwater system and that something that developers won't tell you.I love my country and it would be a disaster for everybody if this place ends up like some other great beaches around the world, that are completely ruined by greedy investors not following the rules.There's no urban or comprehensive master plan, and one of the risks is that Tulum will be like Playa del Carmen is today, overgrown and with environmental devastation.I will advise doing a lot of research before getting something in Tulum, different country, different rules, and practices.

Therefore, the taste of your renters is more important than yours.As to the horror stories about Tulum, they're mainly about the supposed environmental destruction.

That's not even considering the environmental impact if Bitcoin ever became widespread.  

I’d love to hear about environmental assessments, soil tests, and any other pre-development evaluations

Some are actually more environmentally friendly, more stable and more secure.

These people are a pain in the arse, get a good Environmental company to do your Phase 1 and any permitting you might have to do for stream crossings, wetland compensation, ect.

This is gonna be a learning experience due to dealing with environmental court.

Lead-based paint and asbestos are other potential issues with older properties, so get an inspection to assess any environmental risks.

If it’s a larger or commercial property, consider conducting an environmental check to assess potential risks like contamination or flooding.It’s also important to request a full property disclosure from the seller, which may include known issues or defects with the property.
