People buy things with crypto and don't report the gains.

However, my US investors are required by the IRS to report it.

@Val BerechetAs much as I think it’s disingenuous for the international media to focus on any incident in Mexico they can get their hands on while conveniently ignoring to report identical if not worse crime in their own backyard, I don’t really mind after all.Indeed, it makes people aware of the problem (in case they’re not) and, most importantly, It forces the Mexican authorities to act promptly and preventatively (which they normally always end up to do) and everybody is better off because of that.

That will take you more than ten years to recoup that cost in cash flow although you should get a strong bump in value.

Makes sense :) So far, I've been bumping the listing up (because of the off season) but looking at the other rentals stats, it's apparent that people have been setting a date a bit further.

The October 2024 report from the Austin Board of REALTORS® (ABoR) shows stable housing prices in the Austin metro over the past 12 months.

Previous issues that were reported were relatively minor and were addressed a few years ago, so there’s nothing outstanding in that regard.Some title or certificate of occupancy issues can cost tens of thousands to six figures to resolve. 

For our family's needs the 2BR was worth the extra bump in cost.

Investors typically want detailed financials and an agent can help you put together all these docs like rental history, expense reports, potential ROI projections, etc.

This would also allow you to bump up your price point a bit in order to flip in better locations which will have less risk.
