I was living in SLO, CA and moved to the Reno Tahoe area because it was more affordable and still had the CA outdoor lifestyle.

My wife and I are thinking seriously about investing in Mexico, somewhere that is a vacation destination where we could go once or twice a year that will also have the potential to bring in healthy income stream.

Sales remain healthy and at relatively the same levels over the last few months.

After mentoring dads for 30 years, I've realized that children (young or adult) want/need: (1) role models of integrity, and (2) healthy relationship with their parents (plenty of affirmation!).

@Doraine WarnerAs I mentioned in my previous reply, some people like the place as it suits their lifestyle better.

The people who live there typically sign strict lifestyle contracts that state they have to leave immediately if they don't follow it.

Think people involved in $10+mm deals, whether they be brokers, owner/operators, engineers, finance professionals, etc.And when I attend networking events around personal interests, they are more hobby or lifestyle-based.

I can say that I never meet with sellers to tour properties because I'm selling at a healthy discount so I don't need to hold peoples hands through the process.  

Roma in Mexico City is an awesome area for lifestyle but there's but STRs are going to be regulated there and possibly banned and LTRs are not a profitable alternative.

The mortgage market is healthy so there are several ways for income to be calculated including but not limited too: full income verification of two years W-2's or tax returns, 1-2 years of a 1099, average deposits of 12-24 months of personal or (50%) of business bank statements, an up to date P&L, DSCR (debt service coverage ratio) or rental income (investment properties only). - Appraisal.
