this is very, very difficult to do at a distance. 

Properties in the Southeast of Mexico often offer ROI upwards of 10%-15% annually, especially in short-term rentals.Key Benefits:Tourism Growth: Mexico welcomed over 40 million international visitors in the first 11 months of 2024, surpassing 2023 figures. 

On the other, the prospect of short-selling the homes didnt look so awesome either.

Find out what financial problem you are trying to solve in the short term until your able to get to more "long term" problems that real estate helps with 

Shortly after they all became vacant, I had to do the renovation work myself because of the lack of cash flow, and it took years to dig myself out of that hole.

Bought it as a safe bet thinking it would do roughly $35k annually in short term rents.

The property feels like you are in the jungle yet is on a paved road with high speed fiber optic internet and within walking distance of great restaurants that are owned and operated by entrepreneurs from around the world.

Most people call their services "cohosting" to distance themselves from what would normally require a real estate license.

@Shawn Questa I agree with you that there could be some opportunity here, but personally, with that little equity in the property, I'd wait for the pre-foreclosure process to start and  perhaps you can do a short sale (though I don't know the details on how that's handled in TX).

At that point in time, we can just list the property and sell it. we have long-term capital gains rather than short-term capital gains, we would have probably experienced some appreciation during that time.
