That's an off market deal direct from seller. 

They usually ask me how much the rent is and we do usually book with them directly.

Then they started applying to other properties I have vacant right now...Oh the sweet joy of telling them "Those are mine too, and no house for you..."

Getting started is as always the hardest part - building out the logistics, legal bits (for import duties, etc), marketing (be it a website, direct b2b marketing or Amazon) and sourcing the right suppliers are all equally difficult (yet interesting) tasks.

But yeah direct flights to Tulum will be awesome, I flew direct from Cancun to Denver with Frontier recently, that route seems to be still active.

@Ralph McDaniel,The IRS applies the Long-Term Capital Gains rate to investments that are held for more than 12 months. 

Is it possible to succeed, of course, but most fail because they really don't know what they are doing.In the past, got deals prior to MLS which allowed me the best opportunity to wholesaler today, that is no longer possible unless you direct mail advertise to motivated home sellers.

  =)better option is to call a couple lenders directly, tell them you're not ready to have your credit pulled yet, but you want to discuss potential options based on estimates of your credit score, income, etc.you'll get better / richer info this way.  

Now I’m deciding what direction I want to go next.
