Nice job!!

There are 100’s of PM’s in the Tulum area but probably less than 3% of them are trust worthy, registered and legal to operate such a company.

Kept me on the phone for 45 minutes with stories about his thankless job (note- I would not want his job for anything...:-)So in less than 30 days, the offending neighbor has to have removed a sizable number of the cars and other junk.

I was wondering how you would go about finding out how much (in percentage terms) the operating expenses are on a property without owning it aka when looking for properties to purchaseBecause of course if I already owned the property then I would know because I have to pay them all but when trying to figure out if a property's purchase price is justified how can I determine how much the operating expenses will be?

Ok - now I am about to retire from my job. 

Best weishes on your new job.

I work two part-time jobs, probably making about $25k a year, and I have some money in my HYSA (about $10k).

You can have a highly successful one operating right next to a struggling one.

When talking with staff / residents / others on the properties we operate, I typically say I am the manager of the company that owns XYZ proprerty and that is, in fact, the most correct description.

Of course not.If you consider the fact that if you have no money, you would be better off going to McDonald's, getting a job, working for 4 months saving up a decent marketing budget, and THEN attempting wholesaling, your chances of success FAR supersede the chances of doing what is cheap (but with a terrible success rate).People, understand this.You do not seek success based on what you have.You need to figure out WHAT YOU NEED to become successful and get it.
