This technology is getting more advanced every day.

For long-term rentals, investors sometimes self-manage from afar by using technology—handling rent collection with tools like Buildium, Avail, or Rentec Direct, and coordinating repairs via local contractors or apps like Thumbtack or TaskRabbit.

Things are different now and we certainly aren't in anywhere near the same situation as 2005, but it's interesting how a similar environment of sustained prosperity makes the exact same kind of "new and innovative strategy" companies pop up.And based on the responses I'm seeing, I'm sure these guys do a bang-up job of selling their strategy and motivating their clients...not a bad thing at all if it leads to a change in their mindset about money and how to build wealth.

But the barrier to entry is rising:Higher property pricesMore competition on STR platformsTighter margins if you don’t position yourself wellThese emerging towns offer:✅ Lower acquisition costs✅ Less saturation✅ Room to innovate and lead✅ A rising wave of traveler interestFinal thought:If you’re serious about investing in Mexico, this is your window.Don’t just follow the hype, follow the data, the infrastructure, the tourism trends.And most importantly: work with someone who knows the territory.The right advisor can help you identify where the growth is moving before it gets priced in.Happy to share insights or walk you through opportunities if you're exploring Mexico in 2025. 

Certain fees are fair - office, technology, supplies - but they should be relatively minimal as part of the sales commission that comes right off the top is supposed to support those things, not just be pure profit for the managing broker. 

Looks like a really innovative way to approach legal services. 

But that came with the mindset of constantly innovating, personalizing...etc.

Any current human reviews needed are just due to the new technology still being developed. 

Quote from @Sacramento Juarez: Quote from @Bobby Seegmiller: I consider myself a savvy investor, wrote a ebook on foreclosures, sat down at lunch and looked Tom in the eyes, been to his home, analyzed the business, reviewed the technology and CRM, chatted with their closers and am unfortunately in the same boat as all of you.

Improved lighting, technology, advertising, added a website, implemented tenant protection, and enforced rules/fees.
