You'd also essentially be volunteering for "double taxation" that way by paying the loan back with after-tax money and the need potentially paying taxes again when you make a normal withdrawal in retirement.  

The employer match is really a 100% return already, so doesn't that sort of offset the double taxation issue enough to be worth it?

To what extent I don't know... now taxation and rent control.

- Maybe most importantly, does your CPA specialize in real estate taxation? 

I don't remember when was the last time that I have to go on IRS and/or my local taxation website to file payments personally. 

Careful operation of the VR business that can cover the extra taxation and still beat the average ETF could make this a good funding option. 

Also would appreciate recommendations for legal professionals or accountants (due to our unique partnership i.e. involving foreign investment, double taxation, syndication, etc).

@Artur A. you're welcome.The general rule is you pay taxes in both Mexico and the US according to each country's tax code and then, courtesy of the treaty between the two countries for the avoidance of double taxation, you'd credit the taxes you paid in Mexico against your US taxes (related to the property only).If you invest in your own name or through a bank trust (fideicomiso), OTAs will withhold the tax to be paid to Mexico as a percentage of the gross income.

First, if you, like most investors, do not have a solid understanding of real estate taxation, we will educate you and make sure you're not leaving money on the table by overlooking existing deductions and credits.
