I recently became interested in checking out some of their new offerings, but as I was researching I saw a few things in the reviews for Kasa Parota in Tulum about a legal battle with some of the owners and locks being changed before hotel guests arrived.

Add to that fact that the holiday is arriving so that they may have guests coming over. 

The tourist high season has arrived, so we'll have plenty of demand to accommodate us.

If you are in this business long enough you will undoubtedly arrive at situations where taking the small loss even if not fair or warranted based on the circumstances is best if it keeps everything moving and avoids more costly delays, liability and inconveniences.In this case, if you withhold the $2K, you still have to find someone to complete the work to your satisfaction.

I've collect their photo ID, contact information, and I've been asking all guest to obtain COI from all confirmed bookings prior to their arrival.

Participants are continuously told “we’ll cover all these details so you can do this too in just a moment”, the moment never arrives. 

I'm curious how you arrived at your ~$400/month in CF.

My wife was on the phone with a potential tenant as she was arriving at the building to view the unit.

When she arrived in the Unites States she was totally broke.

If that had been my approach, I would not have arrived in my current financial condition with higher net worth.3.
