Everything in there sounds good to me except the ebooks.

Others may see that differently.There is no additional paperwork except the initial rental contract.  

Currently every property we are seeing just does not have enough ROI or cashflow, except in Baltimore.

I started in the Riviera Maya too but I'm mostly out, with the exception of Playa del Carmen, although I wouldn't invest more then.

Its just like renting to anyone, except more paperwork.

There are always exceptions, but don't make the assumption that a contractor who will only provide their own materials is trying to rip you off, it might be a sign that they have pride and want to stand by their work. 

Money Back claims are easy - except when you are asked for the money back then the excuses start.We bought into one that is well known and is actively soliciting new members several years ago and found it to be a total waste of money - generic material, generic advice and support that vanished when we did not see the results they claimed and asked for some additional assistance. 

Over the past few years, my wife and I have worked hard to improve our financial health—we’ve raised our credit scores above 800, paid off all debt except for our mortgage and student loans, and saved a fair amount.

Honestly, the entire situation was a nightmare—except for one silver lining: meeting Melissa.

I really wouldn't do anything different rehabbing/flipping late in the year, except maybe adjust my underwriting.
