Quote from @Ashton Sommers: Hello Everyone!  

I’m very interested in connecting with professionals like you to exchange ideas and explore possible collaborations on architectural visualization and real estate development projects.I’d be happy to stay in touch.

My own investing journey has given me a hands-on perspective that I bring to both my work and my conversations with others in the business.I enjoy connecting with fellow investors and professionals, sharing insights, and continuing to learn from this community.

-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.

I am looking to work with or learn from like-minded real estate investors who also need guidance with expanding their portfolio's.  

It's not your typical meetup and much more interactive.You can find a list of the events posted on BP here:  https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521-real-estate-events-...Aside from networking, what's your game plan for real estate and what got you interested in it?

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

I'd be happy to connect 1-on-1 and discuss your investment interests, help guide you through the purchase process, etc.
