( * Just FYI, Home Depot now has real marble vanity tops in stock for unbelievably great prices--not carrara, but a type of marble called Arabescato Venato, which has both gray and beige and/or brown veining, so it can work with older beige and almond/bone colored tile, (like mine) too!

In that timeframe, the real estate market in the Riviera Maya has been red hot so this is pretty bad.The developers and the promotors of these deals (who get paid fat commissions to sell them) might be the only ones who will make (serious) money there.

I'd agree with your initial post...If you're finding the offmarket deals yourself (and not having fat trimmed by a wholesaler/agent), you could still make it happen depending on your location. 

Just asking as a novice person reading this trading naked would be a risky bet.Since the volatility is so high, spreads are pretty fat right now,but don't know when it will drop to grab the premium ;)----For the other answers,  we are in an unchartered market.

Take a client to lunch in their BMW, then go to a couple closings to collect fat commission checks.

Dreams of starting with nothing, spending no time working on your business and having fat paydays are just that - dreams.

@Peter Vekselman  was not insinuating your a wannabee wholesaler my point was I could  see wanna be wholesalers not running title and getting fubared at the end.I just bought one in Charleston again exact same issue.. wholesaler brings it to me... we decide on price.. only to find out the lady owed more than what they were selling me the house for .. they were bummed  what they thought was a fat deal turned out not to be I still bought it but at my terms not theirs. 

Insurers would charge more for high risks (fat, smoke).

At that point I hope you have a good fat security deposit because that’s what I would use to reimburse myself for the unpaid utilities.

Yeah fat chance.
