And if the developer or listing agent won't allow us to represent the buyer (99% of the deals the commission is paid by the seller) we will still share our contacts and make sure they are safe, if the deal is really good we will tell them, if they are happy and got a good deal most likely we will get referral business from them and have more investors sharing their positive experience while investing in Mexico, it's always important to keep a long term vision.

Is the solution to just talk with the municipalities to get them on board with the vision/change the zoning?

My first one is $247/mo  Shouldn’t hurt if you have a clear vision and (eventually) are swimming in cash flow.

I have found that many agents don't have any vision of what they are looking at when shopping for houses, they lack basic skills of call backs, follow up, and such, that would group many realtors into a big pile.  

I am in Nashville with the same vision as you for valet trash.

@Alexander SmallI'd like to commend you on your big-picture mindset and vision...I wish I would have been thinking the way you are when I was 19 years old.From a lender perspective, there are a variety of considerations that immediately come to mind based on your situation:- Your current income may enable you to purchase a single-family home, but the price point on a multi-family here in San Antonio likely will push your DTI above the limits of qualifying. 

But, honestly I'm in my last semester in college beginning my career in the real world and I'm looking for positive guidance and look forward to seeing the vision having my personal professional portfolio of investments. 

Now, with a bigger vision, I want to help MORE people.- Have you kept the same “Why” you began your real estate journey with?

And lastly when you know this information intimately so that you can draw them a picture in their minds you will be able to inspire and help them see your vision of the final version.

@Crystal SmithCrystal, you're making a great point.Long term vision is something that I am working on.
