However, it is certainly the most attractive it has been in years from a cash flow perspective.

The country has become an important tourist destination in Latin America, which has pushed the development in the hospitality, retail, and entertainment sectors.And yet, the positive development is far from over - it is just beginning!

@Josh Gibson your terms on the commercial loan will most likely not be as attractive is the conventional loan so be sure to compare them closely.

Since then, the Riviera Maya has become one of the world's most visited tourist destinations.Front-running Fonatur has been a hugely successful investment strategy.

All my STRs are in the same tourist destination.  

The property will have a pool, but I fear it'll always be less attractive than an in-ground pool to the point that I'd have high vacancy or be forced to lower my nightly rate.3. $20k total: Build out the backyard with a jacuzzi/bar/tiki area.4. $0 additional: Continue living here as a house hack and invest my money in other real-estate ventures, whether Airbnb or long-term rental.Thank you all for your insight!

Hi Chad,Will the unit and the overall curb appeal draw market rent payers, or is it discounted due to some reason.If you raise and they decline, they will move out, and you will have to pay to "Turn the Unit" and cover the mortgage while it's empty.How long are comparable/competitors units setting unrented for.How much will the turn cost.How much will it cost to make the unit from it's present state to a state that will attract market rent in the time comparables attract it.Will you be the labor 100%, because in some areas people say this type of labor is back scheduled, meaning turn delays.

San Antonio is a great place to buy STRs right now :) I would even consider looking outside of the usual tourist places because plenty of people are looking to stay at places near military bases and convention centers plus price points are still somewhat affordable.

Are competitors fully leased or are they offering discounts and specials to attract tenants? 

Even tbe quality of property makes a difference Lower income can be challenging because they are paycheck to paycheck, might not have technology to pay online, or if it's a bad area might attract bad people.
