The Rental Condo

Shortly after building our home we had the opportunity to purchase a condo located in the same community as our home. We really liked the overall look and design of the condo community but also the condo itself. The condo was already under construction but not completed. Now, if you have been reading my other posts I covered the learning curve, of expectations and timing… This was probably the biggest test of that new found understanding.(HAHA).

The condo was supposed to be completed in August of 2022, they had some delays in supplies due to Covid supply chain issues. We understood, however, August turned September turned October, we took possession but we couldn’t actually do anything with it for another 3 months till the entire property had been finished, so hello January.

We purchased this with the intentions of doing AirBnB vacation rentals, and it was a little stressful to be 6 months behind and first able to start renting in a slow time of year. That said we invited some friends to come stay in the condo give us feedback on what we needed to include to make sure we gave guests a good experience.(Thank you Kim and Chris and Girls! Thank you Jeff and Gypsy!). We started renting the condo, the nice thing it is managed by the community, but it’s been slow going, the neighborhood is fairly new on the rental scene so it’s not widely known about yet. The HOA management company has been setting the rental rate and I think its a little high, they want to be seen as a premium product and they are but we want to get the word out and get people in the condo.

We pulled the condo from the rental pull, to give us some time to figure out what we wanted to do and look into a few options. We have ultimately decided to keep the condo, tell the HOA what we want the new rental price to be. I built a public facing website that we will be launching with this post actually! The website will allow me to just post a link in FB groups to advertise it, rather than needing to create a listing or to only give people the HOA links for it..

Woohooo! it is live took some calls, I have 5 websites, and with that I have some fancy hosting routing thing.. makes no sense to me but it saves me hundreds a year because all my sites are either very small or redirects so anytime I have a change I just call them to do what I need. Please share with friends and family!

Here are some images that will be on the site, I would ask since it’s active please share with family and friends who come to Mexico or are looking for a fun place to get away to. The condo is located outside the really tourist area of town so it’s more family friendly, quiet and relaxing.
