Hey guys, I’m a little late to the conversation but I would love some more details on purchasing rentals in the Yucatán, as stated it’s a paradise.

@Alex V.It is very important that you make sure you take the time to interview and have candid conversations with a PM company.

I'd add that you appreciate the response and that you look forward to it being the last time you have this conversation because you look forward to receiving rent on time.

I am interested in following this conversation.

If you want to start the conversation about appreciation, take a look at some of the other posts on BP.

The best thing you can do is call a few companies, have a conversation, and see if they are a good fit for your investing philosophy.Good Luck!
