Every real estate 🏠 group that I'm apart of has courses and templates and they’re great, but there has been no better teacher 🥸 than actually doing the thing ..., like my duplex conversion. Figuring out what walls to remove to create space, going tankless or not, understanding the process, the permitting, inspections and on and on. Every time my construction Mgr says we have an interesting challenge, I know that I'm going to be learning ✍️ a lot and I am eating it up with a spoon!!

How I choose my property, in Aflora, in the beautiful area of Aldea Zama ...

I was really specific about what I wanted, and spent time there looking at properties and getting a feel for Tulum. I narrowed my focus to these specifics:

· Developments that were closing in 2024

· Developments that were ... well ... developed, so not in the
jungle.

· I placed a huge focus on amenities both in and out of the
development.

· I was very specific about property type, 3bd rm penthouse or
3 bdrm garden suite. Tulum is saturated with studio, one and
two bedrooms and the CF on the 3bdrom is on point.

· Developments that included furnishing the suite.

Tulum is my first venture into the international STR market, but it won’t be my last ...

Here’s why I choose Tulum:

1. Everyone’s heard of Cancun.. not everyone knows Tulum.. but they will, it reminds me of Bali, but years behind Bali in development.. sweet.

2. Cancun = developed Tulum = Developing (perfect!)

3. Tulum’s tourist profile is very different from Cancun, a little higher end, digital nomads, mid-term rentals, and ex-pats,. all good things

4. Tulum recently built an airport and is scheduled to have direct train access later this year.

5. There are a lot of areas still under development and construction with bumpy, unpaved roads.. once again, prime time for investing

6. I'm told Tulum has a major event or festival, at least 10 months out of the year. The first time I ever heard of Tulum, it was about a festival I wanted to attend ... Hmmm ...

In Jan 2024, I purchased my second property; a pre-construction 3 bdrm garden suite in Tulum Mexico. If all goes well it will close in December 2024 Tulum has been on my radar for a long time but I needed to spend time understanding the landscape of investing in Tulum, getting to know the very distinct neighborhoods and really being laser-focused on what I wanted in this investment.

Hamilton Duplex Conversion
In October and Nov 2023, I was back and forth to Hamilton looking at potential buys and couldn’t find the right deal, there was always something. I left the country to spend the holidays in the DR, 👗 ☀️ and from the DR, I found my deal in Hamilton and purchased a property 🏠 that I am currently converting to a duplex. I didn’t know that my first purchase would be a rehab but here we are. My take away from that first purchase experience is that it’s about ease, not effort.

I look back at the start of my active real estate 🏠 journey in the fall of 2023 and how much I’ve learned 📖 and how much I have still to learn. There is so much to do. Networking and courses and workshops and looking at strategy and evaluating 💲deals and on and on, yet the work that I focus on the most, is my alignment to what I want and being an intentional manifestor. This is where that intentional journey has led me in these first few months.
