Hi guys,

My Mexican wife and I (Australian) live and work in China as international teachers. We've managed to save about 30% in a relatively short time for our dream home in her home town, worth less than 200k USD. However, my wife is finding it difficult to navigate her own countries conventional mortgage process while being away from her country for so long. She's also not too tech savvy (neither am I), and doesnt know how to research this stuff very well online - especially for her country.

We are looking for help to acquire a short term mortgage to secure our retirement home. Gun-hoe, we could pay it off within 18 months or less.

Is there anyone here that could help point us to the right direction? Thanks so much

I'm a new-comer from Australia, working in China with my Mexican wife. We want to buy our first property in the US with cash, using it strictly for cashflow.

Our budget is between 150-200k.

What cities would generally be recommended for the lowest buy in price with the best rental returns?

Thank you very much.

From what I understand, anything within 50miles of a coastline is “restricted” for foreign buyers

Hi guys,

Recently stumbled across a realestate agent from the UK operating out of a popular tourist/expat destination in Mexico.

He’s offered me three properties for around 40-60k USD, in which he basically has guaranteed that one of them will rent “easily” for 850$

My goal is to buy a property in cash this year for around 50k and rent it out for as much cashflow as possible.

And at 850$, that’s a 20% cash on cash return..

Is there anyway to verify it? How can I know if I’m being scammed or if this is a legitimate opportunity?

The property is listed on an MLS.net, by the way..

EDIT: that aren’t hiding huge or constant repair costs

I’ll have between 50-60k to purchase a rental property at the end of the year. I’ll be paying in cash most likely because I want the cashflow.

Is it realistic to expect to be able to purchase move in/rental ready homes that can be filled with tenants, for less than 60k?

My major concerns are that while some of the properties I see advertised for this price seem nice, Im worried that they are hiding major repair costs or tenancy vacancies... or anything else for that matter.

@George Munoz do you think properties like that, at similar prices and rents will be available over the next couple of years? Because I’ll be paying cash, but I have a little under the asking price right now
