They are brand new LOs with little experience, hoping to get a nice 1st commission.

I own a few small RE multi family in Los Angeles.  

For a 1 bedroom 1 bath midterm rental in Los Angeles, what do tenants think about having a large toaster oven and cooktop/hotplate, as compared with an integrated (i.e. normal) oven+stove?

Hello, 
I’m rehabbing a 4 bed, 2 bath (1,500 sq ft) home in [City/Area] and need a licensed contractor who can handle general renovations including kitchen/bath updates, flooring, and basic electrical/plumbing. Looki...

Yes, is possible and there are rules.Mexico’s Constitution (Article 27) sets special conditions for foreign ownership in what’s known as the Restricted Zone:100 km (62 miles) from any international border50 km (31 miles) from any ocean or coastlineThese zones include world-famous destinations like Tulum, Playa del Carmen, Los Cabos, and Puerto Vallarta — areas that attract thousands of investors each year.Within these regions, foreigners don’t acquire title under their personal name the same way they might in the U.S., Canada, or Europe.

The answer is through a fideicomiso, also known as a bank trust, a legal structure created specifically to allow foreign investment in coastal and border areas like Tulum, Playa del Carmen, Los Cabos, and Puerto Vallarta, while still protecting Mexican sovereignty.Here’s how it works:The legal title to the property is held by a Mexican bank authorized by the government.The foreign buyer becomes the sole beneficiary of the trust, with full control over the property.The fideicomiso lasts for 50 years and is renewable indefinitely.As the beneficiary, you have the legal right to:✅ Use the property✅ Rent it out (including platforms like Airbnb)✅ Renovate or modify it✅ Sell it✅ Pass it on to your heirsIt’s important to understand that the fideicomiso is not a restriction — it’s a legally solid and recognized structure that gives you the same rights and protections as any Mexican citizen, when executed properly and with professional guidance.Thanks to this system, thousands of foreign investors have safely and confidently acquired properties in high-demand locations, generating strong returns and lifestyle benefits.But what if the property you’re interested in is outside the restricted zone?

West Los Angeles or Meth Park Fresno makes a big difference in the quality of people you can get.I require 3X, which puts some well into $100K+ income territory and have no issues with finding qualified tenants.

Have travelled in areas like Denver and Los Angeles, Phoenix.

I’m based in Los Angeles and planning to buy my first property here.

Lot of LOs and realtors do this part time on the side and frankly have little clue on what they are doing as they advise people on arguably one of the largest financial decisions people make in their lifetime
