First-time homebuyer-level SFHs are such a sweet spot for liquidity and demand, especially when the market gets tight.Quick question—when you're doing the homework for a potential deal, what's your go-to checklist for deciding if it’s a flip or a hold?

I haven't thought as far ahead as looking at potential areas to buy property.

I chose to invest in 1272 Lakins Rd, Etna, due to its potential in a growing market.

EDUCATE YOURSELF - yes, it will take time, but will lead to a selection that better meets your expectations & avoids potentially costly surprises!

So when a potential guests looks at a property before going to bed and then they wake up and decide to book the rate is jacked way up and they message me asking what is going on.  

Can you please help me understand better what potential concerns in your experience can potentially arise here? 

This is how I see it:Single-Family Homes:Pros:Larger pool of potential tenants (families).Simpler management (one tenant, one lease).Often easier to finance.May appreciate faster in some markets.Cons:Only one income stream.Vacancy hits harder financially.Duplexes:Pros:Two potential income streams.Live in one unit and rent the other (house hacking!)

This means you can sell, lease, or pass on the property as you see fit, just like any other property owner.Full Ownership RightsYou have the same rights as a Mexican property owner, including the ability to sell, lease, transfer, or mortgage the propertyLegal SecurityThe Bank Trust is a well-established legal mechanism in Mexico, ensuring your investment is secure and protected under Mexican law.Renewable TermsThe trust is set up for 50 years and can be renewed indefinitely, allowing you and future generations to maintain control over the property.Estate PlanningThe trust makes it easier to pass the property on to heirs, simplifying the inheritance process and reducing potential legal complications.Although the process might initially seem complex, it is entirely managed and supervised by a reputable banking entity.

One time I had a guest smoke and it went right up the ducts into my unit, it was awful.I'm conscious about how that could potentially affect guests who will be staying in the upper unit in the future.

Moving inland, Dover presents a more affordable option with rising demand for multifamily units and a steady rental market, though its short-term rental potential is less robust than coastal towns.
