I’m fascinated by the potential of real estate as a way to build wealth and gain practical skills, but I’m just starting out and looking for guidance.If you’re experienced in the field, I’d love any advice you’re willing to share about getting started, especially if you’ve found success as a beginner.

However, the market is currently crowded with cookie-cutter apartments, creating a lot of internal competition and pushing rental rates down.For short-term gains, I’d avoid preconstruction projects unless backed by bridge loans or completion guarantees, as many developers in Tulum have failed to deliver.

If you succeed in a big way, you will gain some friends and admirers. ( you’ll even have more friends if you pay for all the events, trips, and dinners.
