In this context, I have been offered to buy land in Bacalar a while ago and I declined.I agree with you that Tulum's ship has now sailed.

My husband and I own a 1 acre parcel of land that we are currently building a small home on to short term rent.

Hey @George Enos - most definitely, this is what my wife and do primarily for funding our investment properties, and currently helping several clients who purchased investments last year, doing a BRRRR, and will be pulling money out via HELOC to fund the next one.

I think the more interesting question might be less “which zip code cash flows” and more “under which financing assumptions does it cash flow.”In this rate environment, small changes in debt terms can move a deal from thin to workable pretty fast.

I have a tax client (I am an accountant) who has a rental home in Rio Rancho, NM in a gated community, that he would like to liquidate ASAP. 

They sign longer leases, maintain the property to hotel standards since their income depends on guest reviews, and you get hands-off income without typical tenant headaches.”Most owners don’t know this arrangement exists.

When you go to refi, you’re probably talking another 2% in closing costs.

Has anyone here explored power-intensive industrial uses on zoned land in Central or North Florida?

This is 100% accurate, and it’s one of those truths that sounds obvious but gets ignored in underwriting.Tenants don’t “get used to” friction.

Is that a good way to start out?
