I also continue to market and show the apartment during this time up until a lease has been signed and all move-in fees are paid in full in guaranteed funds (cash or wire only).  

Maybe as an additional safety net set your DSCR% or cash on cash return a little higher than other areas you own. 

Than wholesale it to a end buyer.

Compared to the US, the financing is different (if you need any), the legal system is different (you need to vet the parties), pre-construction works differently (if that's what you want to buy), the buyer/seller psychology is different, ...It's important that you get the needed knowledge or work with people who have it and have their interests aligned with yours.I have replied to hundreds of posts about investing in Mexico over the years so you might find some what you look for there.

I'm concerned that if I place an ad to find people who will work on an hourly basis (in the area of the property) that I might have a hard time finding people who can reliably respond to emergencies during off hours, but I can't afford to have someone working full time or with standard on-call rotations. 

Great to see you on the forums, I think you'll find what you're looking for here!

Purchase price: $270,000 Cash invested: $10,000 4 bed one bath single family home in small town with great school district, about 10 minutes from major city on Front Range of Colorado.

I wanted to have the same title company for the entire process and was fortunate to find ETS as they would know from the beginning everything about the exchange and the parties involved and were licensed in both states where the sale and purchase transactions occurred.My initial conversations with Dave still left me with questions but only those that I did not know what to ask having not gotten to the different phases of this entire process.

An institutional investor with a history of working with syndications in these kinds of deals is going to have a much better handle on fair and realistic fees the syndicator should be collecting for those services versus a bunch of lps that may be working on the first syndication deal and frankly glosses right over those issues when they see 15% annual returns and a nice fat cash bonus on the planned exit.

How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?
