It's a currency.

Lots of bad press on turn key, but "sanity" is a currency; turn key with the right team in the right location is about as passive as you can get in the RE world, the problem is finding the right partners--this is my niche, I pair leverage strategies with turn key--send a message & I can introduce you to some fantastic partners pending your location interests 

Asked this same question a lot--here's my two cents--first define what you're trying to work towards & when you want to get there--a lot of people want passive income with minimal effort then get upset when their "sanity" currency becomes over leveraged--check out Robert Allen's shift--he started as a massive creative financing & BRRR promoter then went the turn key route --DM if interested, can expand 

Maybe notoriety would become the new currency.

As my son and I get older, I plan to work less and less, because truthfully time is the only real currency.

IMO depends on your investor DNA--most likely going to get more bang for your buck on a hands on strategy...but remember sanity is a currency too--if you're looking for some passive strategies, happy to share what I've learned--if I could start from square one again I'd implement the Rockefeller method x specific Turnkey--check out Ryan Lee & Garret Gunderson 

-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.

Thus it will both hold its value versus the U.S. currency which has to get deflated by either inflation or currency printing.  

If the chemical composition and quantity cannot change, what changes is the denominator or the exchange rate of the currency. 

Property appreciation in most investable areas remains flat.When you invest abroad, you must look at the local currency.
