-Mexico citizen, born and raised in Colorado, and over the past few years I’ve been actively investing in Mexican real estate — mostly in presale condos and long-term or vacation rental markets like Guadalajara, Cancún, and Lake Chapala.I originally started by looking for affordable, well-located properties for personal use, but as I dug deeper, I realized there were real opportunities for long-term appreciation, rental income, and geographic diversification — often with as little as $20–30k down.The process isn’t as complicated as people think, but there are definitely key things to understand, including:How foreigners can legally own property in Mexico (especially in restricted zones like the coast),How presale contracts and developer relationships work,What kinds of rental strategies are viable in different markets (Airbnb, mid-term, or traditional long-term),Currency and exchange rate considerations, title safety, and banking between the U.S. and Mexico.One major advantage of presale in Mexico is that many developers offer in-house, interest-free financing during construction, allowing buyers to spread out payments over 24–36 months — without involving a bank or mortgage process.

I’ve never bought a commercial property using a broker because I’ve never found one that made any sense with a broker involved. 

Hello my name is Chuck and I’m super eager to start my real estate investment journey, I’m working with a realtor and a lender and have viewed a couple homes one potential that me and my wife want to buy unfortunately this doesn’t meet the criteria for the one percent rule, in the beginning I reached out to a investor realtor in my area using bigger pockets which fell thru due to a family emergency on the realtors end I moved forward with a reputable realtor in my area but I’m really not sure if I should move forward the house fits our needs at the moment and it does involve a little sweat equity but no a lot to do it’s mostly done how do i navigate way I should do next should I put our families needs first and just sell after two years or rent out ultimately is what we are wanting to do, I will say I’m a little overstimulated with this process in how everything is going and how hard it is for my area to find that first rental investment that both fits our needs and our rental portfolio any advice would help and thanks 

Hey guys,I'm seeking a contract lawyer in the SSF/SF area to advise on a business services agreement entered into in October 2023 for the setup and management of Airbnb properties.The arrangement involves The Bnb University (121 South Maple Avenue #16, South San Francisco, CA 94080), and, potentially, WANDERLUST PROPERTY VENTURES LLC (principal/registered: 74-710 Highway 111, Ste 102, Palm Desert, CA 92260).Disputes have arisen regarding performance obligations, debt repayment, and the suspension of services.I'm seeking guidance on contractual enforcement, breach implications, and possible remedies or resolution pathways.All communication and key agreements were documented in writing and through Slack.I welcome any recommendations that you might have who are reasonable in costs (especially given the exchange rate 😂).I’m located in Australia, so time zones can be challenging but not insurmountable.Thanks in advance,Damien

A duplex is a great place to start because there is less maintenance involved having 2 units versus having more.

Credibility comes from content.In the time I've been involved here, many lenders have come on strong and then disappeared.

So sounds like once I go in to contract properly management would start getting involved?

The AI should support the voice of the brand, not replace it.Personally, I draw the line at anything involving conflict, personal tone, or significant emotion.
