We actually have our monthly general meeting tonight if you can make it.

I'll give you my opinion, but I don't have actual data to go by.  

Travelers want to see what the actual furnishings look like because that's a big part of what they're making their decision on.

This can be particularly useful for getting location-specific estimates, which are crucial as costs can vary significantly depending on the area​.Home-Cost features a cost-to-build calculator that allows you to vary zip code, actual home design, and quality assumptions for more accurate cost estimates.

I email owners and actually get a decent response but finding the right email is hard. 

So, you can either accept negative cashflow for 3-5 years or switch to investing in Class B & C properties.I have seen some D properties 30-45min from my area that barely pencil out but the risk is actually getting tenant to pay so I don't dive into those but agree with what you're saying. 

And actually great that she communicated it. 

As long as you own that property the capital gain taxs you deferred in the 1031 will stay deferred.And there will actually be the opportunity to start to eliminate some of the deferred tax once you have lived in it for at least two years and have owned it for at least five years.

For example, in Tulum, we now find ourselves in an oversupply situation, which is going to get much worse so I wouldn't surprised to see prices going down in coming years.In Baja California Sur, price appreciation was actually well above 10% during and right after the pandemic but it has returned to normal levels now.2.

I know when I become an expert the money will follow, I am actually fully prepared to make no money my first year (though I will work my *** off to get my first deals).
