It's all a part of the boom/bust real estate cycle in resort areas. 

very interesting forum , i happen to have some clients willing to sell medium sized hotels in Seychelles islands and also some property ideal for resort development.

Personally I wouldn't use Zillow, I can only imagine they want to introduce a future fee for the service.Zelle is the absolute last resort for rental payments.

Depending on the price point and community, any buyer has dozens of choices in each resort.

sounds like a lot of smaller dollars  IE under 100k investors.. so usually not worth litigating over money wise and then someone who gets over his ski tips .. never intended to end up with all these pissed off and wrong investors but once you Rob Peter to Pay Paul you rarely recover.. 

A DSCR loan will just up your cost on the new loan, making the deal that much harder to cash flow, so it would be a last resort. 

It's worth mentioning for other readers that, while it doesn't hurt, it's not necessary to be a resident or to own a Mexican corporation to buy real estate in Mexico and any non-resident can own a Mexican corporation anyway.To answer your question, depending on your strategy, you have various options, depending on your objectives:* Other beach resort towns whether in Q Roo, Baja California Sur, Puerto Vallarta - Riviera Nayarit, Mazatlan or the Oaxaca Coastline.* Inland cities like Mexico City (the capital), Guadalajara and Monterrey (the 2nd and 3rd cities who are benefiting from the onshoring/reshoring/nearshoring boom and the rise of the middle classes), San Miguel de Allende or Merida.Hope this helps otherwise feel free to reach out.

I am just an average Joe trying to sell our house to investors (ski resort town three hours east of SF if anyone is interested) - I just wanted to check in and see: Is it common for an investor to insist on entering into a contract before they inspect (where they have 2 weeks to inspect and cancel if they don’t like what they see & if they do they will close within one month)?

I would say 1/2 of the resort properties were for sale during COVID.  

But for a lot of younger family's a small community, starlit sky's, and the sound of nature are more important that constant sirens, Uber, dog spa's, and 100 different coffee shops or microbreweries.
