You could do a selective cash out refinance on one property to give you tax free living cash.If you do sell you'll want to do a 1031 exchange if you can so that you can avoid tax on all of your gain. 

Hi BP,My name is Andy and I'm interested in property in Mexico City / CDMX and was wondering if anyone on the forums have had any experience as an American citizen acquiring property down there, and what that might entail?

While duplexes seem like a great starting point, I'm also open to considering fourplexes for potential increased return.Here's my situation:Investment capital: $200,000Risk tolerance: Moderate (willing to leverage, but strategically)Experience: New investor, but I've been devouring BiggerPockets books for the past 2 years!

I’d love to hear your experiences, insights, and strategies.

I'd appreciate any insights, advice, or experiences you can share.

Brian, I'm a seasoned designer with tremendous construction experience as well. 

It should give a good return, over next 6-9 months with either a gradual FED rate cutting and a great return with a Recession. another option is AGNC/NLY. 2 mortgage Reits that own billions of agency MBS, so as rates fall, their underlying bond assets will rise in value dramatically causing stock their prices to rise, and they pay hefty dividends while you wait, AGNC paying me >14.4%if staying in cash consider USFR pays 5.4% taxable, or BKN 5.6% tax free as munisGO TEXANS!

I'm currently exploring different housing platforms that offer a more personalized experience compared to the usual big names like Airbnb and VRBO.

I do have one house hacking client where I sold his condo and then helped him buy a larger townhouse where he can do forced appreciation through rehab (which worked out really well.)I went from a house hacking condo, used a HELOC and then did the FHA 203(k) to a house and built an ADU.Because of the rental restrictions, it might make sense to sell at some point since profits up to $250K is tax free and scale up that way. 

If you ever need any help with anything from investment deals, sales, renovations, or property management, feel free to reach out!
