We're doing a ground-up construction project in a booming spot on the Pacific Coast of Mexico.

Beyond just solid rent-to-price ratios, there’s a lot going on: the city’s undergoing revitalization, the population is growing again, and there's real potential for appreciation if you’re buying in the right spots.

It sounds like you’re in a good spot with your rental and investments.

.: Hey folks,Craigslist used to be my go-to spot to list long term rentals. 

Go to Etsy and search for "rental property tracker," and you will find hundreds of nice spreadsheets to track 10-20 rentals, usually for under $10.Software has extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button, and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.

When you have unscheduled entry as an option, I think it encourages them to do weird stuff like hide stuff in weird spots, etc because they are always on guard.Hoarders clauses would have to be linked to fire codes I think for excess people and materials near fire sources, etc.

exactly Chris Clothier made a good point on another thread where his opinion is any cash flow first should go into reserves once reserves is in a good spot the remaining cash flow should go to principal paydown.. 

Everything else you said was spot on.

Spot him $10,000 and do a Texas off list tax sale for land, not a house.  

This is spot on!
