(If you go that route we have worked with a couple of good builders and can share the contact info) That said, there are other locations where you can get a 4-bedroom villa for less or a similar price point.For example, the Tulum National Archeological Park is a project that just got announced (Parque del Jaguar) is a federal park with 1,000 federal protected hectares (2471.05 acres) (just to give you an idea Central Park in NYC is only 843 acres), it will have jogging and bike trails with views to the Caribbean, ancient Mayan ruins, 7 new beach accesses, a pier for boats in front of the lighthouse of the park, plant nurseries, viewpoints, butterfly farms, and cenotes.

What if it appraises significantly lower and then the deal is ruined? 

Belief is key and I would hate to be the guy who ruined things from the start just because I decided I would.

Steve,I'm not going to reply point for point because I don't want to ruin all the surprises, but you make some very good points!

Ruining his credit for many years.

I know it's a crazy competitive market right now but I would really like to get started.In the 13 years we've been together, my husband and I made it through cancer, CPTSD, 11 moves, career changes, paid off 6 figure debt and had 2 beautiful girls despite being told we would most likely never have any.

Every potential avenue of "doing what you love and the money will follow" was ******** and filled me with pure misery, ruining many of my favorite hobbies to the point I lost interest in doing them for fun!
