you might want to reach out to @crystal Nixon she specializes in real estate and is very affordable.

we shall see if we can afford the space necessary, but it is our current plan. we love the urban environment, things to do (things to do for kids too!)

I know Playa Del Carmen is booming now but I still would like to get in on it before the real estate is too high for me to afford.

If they are over listing and I apply 65% - the rehab and they know I have say 200k in my account, they know i can afford to pay lets say 87k instead of my offer

For example, if you can afford to pay $1000 a month on your mortgage, at 6% that would be a 170k house, at 4% that is a 210k house.  

My coworkers scoffed at me for moving and investing there in 2009-2012, but because I did that then I can now afford raise my family near the beach.

I am in greater Columbus, and our market it on fire but still very affordable.

I am also a contractor , flippers and investors  CAN  NOT AFFORD ME . 

Personally I only do "real people", because the way I look at it, corporations and banks want the most for the property and can afford to sit on it and my direct mail is focused on people who have a NEED to sell.

We have been one of the most affordable housing marketing in the nation, years running.
