Quote from @Travis Timmons: It's really tough and risky if you are just starting out.

We used to live in Reading and the city itself would probably be tough to rent as it may be hard to find good tenants.

@Abel Curielthis is so beyond and more than helpful. it's been a tough gig to start, but this really simplifies it and brings me confidence.

Going to court could be long and expensive, and even if you win, enforcing it might be tough.

1.Activities That CountTo meet the material participation criteria, you must log your hours in a detailed and ongoing logbook throughout the year.

Nothing better than four draws and never a lot of money up front "for materials".

I totally get it—starting in STR can be tough, especially when cold calling and emailing aren’t working.

Major renos in Orleans can be tough though.

From talking to locals, there's a couple of issues than need to be addressed, some are the non-ecological practices that some of those developers have, unfortunately, our government profits from this investors and allows them to destroy manglers (which are the natural water purifying system of that area) dismantling hectares of mangroves and degraded the habitat of resident and migratory species burying animals alive.There's proof of fecal material floating beneath the city of Tulum, only 20% of the water is sent to the water treatment plant, there's no infrastructure for the exponential growth.The landfills in the middle of the jungle that is leaking hazardous pollutants into the freshwater system and that something that developers won't tell you.I love my country and it would be a disaster for everybody if this place ends up like some other great beaches around the world, that are completely ruined by greedy investors not following the rules.There's no urban or comprehensive master plan, and one of the risks is that Tulum will be like Playa del Carmen is today, overgrown and with environmental devastation.I will advise doing a lot of research before getting something in Tulum, different country, different rules, and practices.

(Live there for a bit then rent it out)It's a tough decision nowadays with a 3% mortgage which is pretty much an asset in itself.
