BiggerPockets | The Mexican Rental Properties Beating the US Housing Market Returns @biggerpockets | Uploaded May 2024 | Updated October 2024, 17 hours ago.
Episode #957

Have you ever thought about buying rental properties abroad? It might surprise you, but investing overseas could bring in much more cash flow and appreciation than you thought possible. Bobby, a real estate investor from Arizona, moved his money down south, buying in both big cities and small tourist destinations in Mexico. He’s here to share everything you need to know about buying international investment properties and how you, too, can beat the US housing market by moving your money elsewhere.

It’s time to practice your Spanish because, on this Seeing Greene, señor David Verde and Rob Abasolo are here to talk about investing in Mexico’s cash-flowing coasts and appreciating capital city. Bobby details finding properties for sale when investing abroad, how to get a rental property loan (and today’s mortgage rates), the challenges American investors will encounter, and the tourist markets to look for. Plus, we’ll answer some questions from the comments and listeners about buying in a flood zone, financing an ADU (accessory dwelling unit), and how to run your numbers on a build-to-rent property.
