I wouldn't tear it out now that you have but in the time, but I would paint it all white, and consider a subtle vertically-striped paint scheme on the walls to raise the ceiling visually;2.

In the whole scheme of things though, inventory is down across the country, and is probably even more so apparent in Colorado.

My investigation of them led me to conclude it's sort of a mini ponzi scheme IMO. 

I have no "issues" with those buying from brokers, they need to eat too, or out of group pyramid schemes (if you're on the top side of the chains), but buying from the note holder will be your best pricing, easier due diligence with individual note holders and therefore, less risks.

The difficulty with the entire scheme is that seeing a vacant, under-utilized parcel becomes a "shiny object" for the would-be real estate buyer who devotes way too much time to a less-than-ideal opportunity.I was drawn to this thread by the term adverse possession, which fir which there are two types:1) Color of title - for which title to real property is obtained by way of a defective document which, on its face, appears to transfer title.

While the probably of being ripped off in Mexico as a foreigner is probably higher than in some other countries, it’s still low in the grand scheme of things.As sad as your story is, my point with it was that, in my personal opinion, it’s not right to suggest to others to not invest in Mexico because of what happened to you.

My suggestion to you is to come up with a pain scheme that will WOW your perspective buyers.
