Are there infrastructure limitations, i.e. main sewer can't support 100 new townhomes feeding into it?  

It's one of the most important elements of making a deal happen.

There is also about 40% less inventory for Condos than there is for Co-ops.If you're mainly looking to invest in an apartment to save on rent and learn the market, I'd recommend a small multifamily (2-4 unit) investment.

I would just need to invest in furnishing it very well with better appliances mainly.

@Yezenia HernandezI started with pre-construction short-term rentals in the Riviera Maya, since it's Mexico's and one of the world's main tourist destinations and so the profitability has been very high there.

Have you tried contacting the main office or different individuals in the company? 

I think my main point, which you’re experience lends support to, is that while there are below market deals out there, it requires a continual effort of being “in the market” and looking at 100s of deals to negotiate the rare below market purchase.  

We lived in Texas for 13 years and just moved up to Maine in June of this year.

I'm about ready to retire so I'm not looking to compete in a bidding war, mainly looking for a fair deal that I can rehab or a turnkey with some cash flow. 

Look up @MarcusMKE, that is my main channel.
