The ones with two kids supposedly saving up seven or eight years for their dream destination marriage in some tropical paradise.

Tourism is an historic well established business there and make a comparison Mexico Vs Colombia is like compare a tropical island vs a desert .

As someone who spent 5 days without a/c...in New Orleans, in August, with 95 degrees...when a tropical storm knocked out the power in most areas, your tenants sound ridiculous. 

After leading us on for nearly 8 months, she finally informed us that the bank rejected her financing because the house is wooden and has a greater risk of being damaged by the tropical weather.Recently we were presented a cash offer of 75k and the house was appraised at 112k in November 2017.

Unfortunately, there are still many houses that were either destroyed by Hurricane Harvey or more recently Tropical Storm Imelda. 

There is definitely going to be a lot of rain and possible tropical storm force winds.

I prefer the National Reia (Tropical Reia) in Boynton beach by the way.
