It’s one of the few markets where you can still find solid rental properties in the $120K–180K range that hit the 1% rule and cash flow from day one, while also benefiting from huge macro growth drivers like Intel’s $26B development, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Honda, LG, Anduril, Nationwide, and more moving in or expanding here.

-Mexico citizen, born and raised in Colorado, and over the past few years I’ve been actively investing in Mexican real estate — mostly in presale condos and long-term or vacation rental markets like Guadalajara, Cancún, and Lake Chapala.I originally started by looking for affordable, well-located properties for personal use, but as I dug deeper, I realized there were real opportunities for long-term appreciation, rental income, and geographic diversification — often with as little as $20–30k down.The process isn’t as complicated as people think, but there are definitely key things to understand, including:How foreigners can legally own property in Mexico (especially in restricted zones like the coast),How presale contracts and developer relationships work,What kinds of rental strategies are viable in different markets (Airbnb, mid-term, or traditional long-term),Currency and exchange rate considerations, title safety, and banking between the U.S. and Mexico.One major advantage of presale in Mexico is that many developers offer in-house, interest-free financing during construction, allowing buyers to spread out payments over 24–36 months — without involving a bank or mortgage process.

Sounds like you've built serious momentum: from Flips to BRRR to Development.

I’m Cara Hafner, Business Development Lead for Asset Management Group, based in the Kansas City Metro area.

If you die and get caught in the middle of a BRRRR, development, etc your property is worth Pennys.  

This type of financing is primarily for real estate investors and developers, not for owner-occupied properties.Private lenders may offer a higher loan-to-value (LTV) or loan-to-cost (LTC) ratio than traditional banks.

I applaud your efforts - more communities need development champions like this!

We also love helping buyers find a primary or second home here in Middle Tennessee.One thing we’re especially excited about is Horizon Nashville, a new short term rental development where our team has an exclusive partnership with Airbnb.

Also, your background in commercial concrete could be valuable for anyone doing rehab or development in the area.Looking forward to networking and learning together!
