Water bill triples so they want to check for leaks, too many cars parked in the street. 

All the water from the crown of the road floods onto my property and I was informed its illegal to discharge water onto anothers property and that the engineers could apply pressure to the city to have curb and gutter installed.

(Except of course for a simple permit like a water heater, where a Licensed Plumber could get one.)

It blows quickbooks out of the water with ease of use and I can do the class tracking that the basic $20 a month quickbooks was lacking.There's a phone app also, I just added it to my phone, so I'm not sure how much I will use it yet other than for reference as opposed to opening the website for details. 

Pull comps, if you rent it for 1500.00 you are cashflowing 120.00 a month with all the info you gave me and including fees except if you take any fees on (water/trash etc.

If you are curious on the market I would guess you have the ability to test the waters 

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.

If the number are close[100k or less], do preemptive due diligence [water, sewer, stormwater, planning and zoning] if the property is considered for a new build development situation.

The hardship in my case stemmed from the fact the parcel size required a storm water management system that would cost the same to implement if I built 7 homes or 30.
