Bilingual realtor: Make sure your agent speaks really good Spanish, remember that you are in Mexico and all the agreements and important paperwork you will sign are in Spanish, some are translated however it's important to keep in mind that the Spanish version will prevail.

Cosmetic, some HVAC maybe new service line and box  also alterations to plumbing with new kitchen and bath - $ 40-$60 / sqft3.

Since I only needed to add 2 partition walls (no alteration of the exterior or infrastructure) I was able to apply for the permit as an owner/contractor.

If I have a property with hideous, 1970s technicolor brick, and I can't work with it by changing anything else, you can bet it is getting painted or otherwise altered.

Same thing with the coming Gen X getting ready to retire.More likely, the system will be altered to keep it afloat and kick the can down the road to future generations, by changing the benefit formulas, raising the payroll tax, or makes other changes such as raising the cap on taxable wage income.BIGGER PROBLEMS AHEADBut combine this with Artificial Intelligence Experts predicting as much as 45% of all jobs could be replaced by automation by 2035, and we've got a serious problem on our hands.Serious changes are ahead, and the government only has so much "bread and circuses" (UBI being the bread) before seriously addressing the issues at hand.For now, UBI is presented as Social Security 2.0, but instead of just the retired population too old for most work it's going to affect everyone because soon there will be very little work at all.And with humans projected to live 3-8 years longer than previously expected by 2050, and even with just the current US adult population of 250 million over 18 (UBI recipients under Andrew's plan), that's an additional $3 trillion per year UBI would cost us BEYOND the additional $3.2 to $8.3 trillion we hadn't planned to spend with our erroneous calculations.Further, with an annual inflation of 3%, the buying power of a dollar today will equivalent to $2.50 in 2050, begging the question if $1,000/mo will even be enough by then?

I'm in the free trial now in QuickBooks and I don't like that the language and terms don't translate to real estate well.

Properties are grandfathered in and do not need to conform to the new zoning of RS-3 unless you are attempting to significantly alter them.  

@Adam KrollLet me further justify my comments:High Demand does not alter the intrinsic value of property, in particularly in areas where as you point out, more property can simply be built and land is plentiful.  

Smart money could translate to mean big money too.

That translated to the lowest number of sales over a 12-month period in five years, as investors appeared to dial back purchasing activity.
