Investment Property in Tulum - Good Idea?

[Yousef Samy]

Hello Everyone, 

I've come across many beautiful new construction developments in Tulum that i'm considering purchasing. I've read tons of articles and forums from people giving their opinions, however none of them actually bought an investment property in Tulum. 

I'm curious to hear from anyone in the states who has purchased a rental property in Tulum. What their experience was like and if it turned out to be a good investment. 

I look forward to any feedback & advice. 

Thank you, 

Yousef

Hello @Yousef Samy

I am a developer and owner of a buyers agency firm in Tulum (Jungle Realtor), I own and manage multiple properties, and my properties are generating solid returns, double digits. However not all properties are, this past summer´s occupancy lowered because most tourists went to Europe. However, we are seeing an increase in reservations for this winter. There are properties that are money-making machines in Tulum but there are also ones that don't rent that well, I can share my numbers and a couple of tips on what are the properties that rent the most, what size of unit has the most demand, lowest supply, what are the best locations, reputable developers, and things to look out for in your first investment here.
