But, I will continue to bet on a continued trajectory of progress in quality of life for most people in this country over the ensuing decades.

I'm in Tulum now to see how things are progressing and I'm overall seeing Tulum with a different point of view where it feels like there's an  oversupply of units and not enough progress made on infrastructure.

These are just a few ways to begin making contacts and learning about the strategies available to you.Once you decide on a strategy, I'd recommend connecting with an investor-friendly lender who will give you an idea of how much you qualify to borrow for your first property.As you progress in this initial research phase, your goals and action plans will become clearer.All the best!

Will keep posting my progress and I welcome your continued input sir.

In that case there is simply no progress being made, and no education the person is gaining that will ultimately allow them to work towards their investing goals.To your question about equity in a property to recycle sooner, I think the typical rehabbed TK property will likely not have significant equity to be able to cash out refi immediately to reinvest. 

It's a work in progress.

Fear of debt will slow your progress and growth as well.

What must happen to make this progress payment happen?

Curious about progress as well @Bobby Dailey.

If I’m lucky, I can score a remote role and move to an affordable market elsewhere to jumpstart my FI progress, but if not, I can still buy a house with a lower salary in any of these affordable markets around the country!
