I would start by talking about what your long term goals are - a common ground.

Explain that you are fixing up the common areas and need people to take their belongings out of the common space (and keep them out).If some are into gardening, tell them you are also doing the landscaping and are open to suggestions though that doesn't mean you are going to do them. 

It's not that common in Mexico but it exists.

For example spell out what will happen if one person does not keep common areas clean, I would say that its up to the tenants to work it out amongst themselves.Also who will buy soap, toilet paper ext..

I know certain things take experience with a dash of common sense, but when your savings is on the line, you want to evaluate your plan just as much at the properties you are trying to buy.I reached out to a few agents regarding OOS properties to ask about the areas from an investor's POV and it was almost like they didn't want to entertain the thought and were less than supportive of buying in certain areas.
