And Matt, yes Airbnb is legal here and more than encouraged.I have a property I rent here in cancun, 3BD, shared swimming pool in a very nice residential gated complexe a good 15 mins drive from the beach. it's value is around 55k USD and from the 18th of December to the 6th of January (Prime season) I have it rented at 350 USD per night...

We always get upgraded to suites, even executive and presidential suites if and when available. 

Another approach would be to get a civil engineer to look at the site with you as they are familiar with most costs involved in sub-division and may be best suited to answer  your question.

Our mortgage is up for renewal in July 2018.Property taxes are around 3500 for the yearI suited the house this last summer so it is split into two units (one upper, one lower).

Sometimes threat of filing suit puts them in line.

There are lots of active investors here and usually over 100 attend each meeting.The other club is the Los Angeles Asian Real Estate Investors Association which meets the 2nd Wednesday of every month at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Arcadia and despite its name everyone is welcome.

Read through the guide and start to decide which strategy suits your current situation best and then start learning what you need to know and make some moves.

At present I am looking for more traditional work to get myself on the right track (I don't even own a vehicle or a suit) while also absorbing as much information as I can so that when I am able to get my start in real estate investing I will have prepared myself as much as possible. 

Property is suited to needs.2.

They can be modified with addenda to suit just about whatever you need.
