It may seem like a no-brainer, but I would like to buy a condo in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico for $250,000 CASH while keeping my state-side home. I think I can rent the condo out for annual income of approximately $20,000/year, at least until my state-side mortgage is paid in 3.5 years.
What do you think
