The partners who honored their word, the colleagues who worked through challenges, the new connections who showed up with professionalism and respect.Real estate has a way of reminding us how small the world can be.

I’m asking because, at least in the Mayan Riviera, that can be quite challenging or unlikely, though it really depends on how much financing you’ll need.As @Mike Lambert mentioned, it’s also quite challenging to find a truly good real estate professional in the area.

I think basements as additional living space - assuming the basement is finished nicely, has egress, is free of radon, and is professionally waterproofed - are great ideas.However, we've had low success rates leasing even semi-below-grade apartments.

I love the attitude - both to post and to reach out to professionals early on in the journey.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

T&H Realty is an extremely professional PM company. 

I would like to start building my team now, and connect with a real estate agent and other professionals that will have my best interests as priority.

Thus, while I always recommend working with qualified attorneys and tax professionals, it is especially important to do so in states like TN where you could easily dramatically increase your tax liability if things are not set up appropriately.In Florida, land trusts present a unique opportunity.

Qualify as a Real Estate Professional (REP) under the tax code. • This requires significant hours and material participation in real estate activities.• For someone working a full-time W-2 job, this is very difficult to achieve legitimately. 2.
