Investing in Tulum, Mexico

[Ricky Cassidy]

This would clearly be a very risky move, but has anyone considered buying a vacation rental in a vacation based rental market such a Tulum, Mexico?

Unlike certain sub markets in the US that are very hot right now due to low inventory and high demand, I feel somewhere like Tulum may offer deals that cannot easily be found here in the states (or at least where I am in Annapolis, MD).

I’ve done some quick research and there are most definitely discounts to be found... the question is, when will tourism return to normal? Could be months, could be years...

Full Disclosure - I love Tulum and would love an excuse to own a condo there to visit.

Might be less risky to buy in a hot U.S. market and use proceeds to visit Tulum and rent a place there.
