Fire affects not only the visibly charred areas but can also compromise structural elements, electrical systems, plumbing, and even the roof due to heat and water damage from firefighting.

@Wayne Kerr @Calvin ThomasI need to address some concerning elements in this thread.

PHOTOS THAT SELLUse natural light.Shoot at golden hour.Add human elements: a towel rolled on the bed, a glass of wine on the terrace, a hat on the hammock.Invest in a pro—even if it’s just for the first set.Rule of thumb: Your listing should look like a boutique hotel ad, not your aunt’s spare room.2.

For properties that are existing SFR that is usually not the case, and even if it is the commercial tenant wants to negotiate more because it impacts their profitability.So get a better understand of the "how and what" elements of the zoning to know what you may really have, but I would caution that you shouldn't spend any money on this until you're very confident its worthwhile.

Tighter Zoning & Urban Planning LawsMunicipalities in Tulum, Playa del Carmen, and Puerto Vallarta are tightening development codes:Stricter environmental impact rulesLimits on density, construction height, and condo permitsPressure to comply with new urban development plans (PDUs)If you’re investing in pre-construction or land, work only with developers who provide verified permits and zoning certificates.4.

Environmental idea would be to put down layers of plastic before you lay do the dirt, it may reduce lead and metals seeping down as a way to "protect the environment" in those areas.Ask people to bring their cardboards to use as target holders and have a recycling can on site as a way to upcycle and recycle cardboard and other household items? 

I told him any money I put down will be refundable for any issues like environmental matters, physical inspection, title, zoning, and if I can't raise funds.

The positives are elements that you mentioned: Enhanced buyer pool.

These two elements often get overlooked in the excitement of deal-making, but they play a critical role in the long-term success and sustainability of your investment journey.A well-thought-out tax strategy helps ensure you're maximizing all available deductions, utilizing the most favorable tax structures, and ultimately keeping more of your hard-earned income.
