The other problem with elevating an older home, although it helps reduce the risk from future flooding, it doesn't address bringing the rest of the home to current Florida standards.

I get code violation lists from the cities I market in and those lists only have the property address.

From talking to locals, there's a couple of issues than need to be addressed, some are the non-ecological practices that some of those developers have, unfortunately, our government profits from this investors and allows them to destroy manglers (which are the natural water purifying system of that area) dismantling hectares of mangroves and degraded the habitat of resident and migratory species burying animals alive.There's proof of fecal material floating beneath the city of Tulum, only 20% of the water is sent to the water treatment plant, there's no infrastructure for the exponential growth.The landfills in the middle of the jungle that is leaking hazardous pollutants into the freshwater system and that something that developers won't tell you.I love my country and it would be a disaster for everybody if this place ends up like some other great beaches around the world, that are completely ruined by greedy investors not following the rules.There's no urban or comprehensive master plan, and one of the risks is that Tulum will be like Playa del Carmen is today, overgrown and with environmental devastation.I will advise doing a lot of research before getting something in Tulum, different country, different rules, and practices.

I'm looking for a team, an agent that with knowledge both on/off market deals/neighborhoods insight.....good GC, efficient and can accommodate multiple jobs and property manager with that is experience in section 8 housing.Appreciate hearing from you. 

I joined BiggerPockets specifically to address this and to build relationships with people from diverse backgrounds and locations.

I can disclose the property address and details if you would like to chat.

If you're going to do that and want cash flow, you'll very likely need to at least make some cosmetic improvements to the units to raise the rents and then manage efficiently.

This would help ensure that we take the appropriate steps to address the issue and prevent it from happening again in the future.If it turns out that my unit is the source, I will take responsibility and address it promptly.

I would be curious why you feel capped at 70% LTV on your cash-out right now.Here is a post where I addressed seasoning and available leverage for an all-cash BRRRR deal, but will repost here as well: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/311/topics/1212888-dela...

After securing a deal, your focus will shift to closing, finding tenants, and setting up efficient management.If you haven’t already, building relationships with local agents, contractors, and property managers in PA can save you a lot of time and hassle
