the Isla Mujeres, Cancun MEXICO Friends & Family Vacation

April 6th-April 13th, 2022, My wife and I flew from Austin Texas direct via Jet Blue to Cancun Mexico for a 1-week vacation. The first 3 days night were at an all-inclusive beach side resort, outside of Cancun. It was wonderful and we hung with friends, went snorkeling in crystal clear ocean water through living corral, and even swam in 3 Cenotes. I, GVM cliff jumped into a Cenote. (click here for an article, What exactly is a CENOTE?) I also Zip-Lined 4 times atop the trees and nature. I also participated in karaoke and sang "Staying Alive" by the Bee Gees in its entirety, and received 8.5-9.5 marks from the listening crowd. Adventures, eh? 

The second 4 night vacation portion was spent on Isla Mujeres, a small yet livable island, off the coast of Cancun Mexico. You take a 20-25 minute boat ferry to get there. Isla Mujeres is walkable with pool-like oceans, friendly visitors, international tourists, and native Mexicans as well. There is  1 main tourist commercial strip for food, music, nightlife and fun. In Isla Mujeres, my entire family, Dad, gf, Willy, gf, and sister Emily plus friend were in full attendance. 

Overall I give this Mexico TRIP  an A-plus!

Should you BUY a FLIPPED House? ATX Broker Associate GVM Tips, Insights.

 SHOULD YOU BUY a "FLIPPED" HOUSE?  Have you personally ever considered and wondered if you, yourself should BUY  a "flipped house." In my 15+ years of predominantly residential Central Austin brokerage practice and experience, here are my insights, opinions, suggestions and things to be cognizant of.  #1. Absolutely, for sure get a LICENSED INSPECTION on the flipped house! Not all flippers are the same. Just like in life there is a wide spectrum in regards to quality. Some flippers are flat out awful. They make very lipstick-like improvements, skip the expensive items such as the foundation, and plumbing and try to trick the consumer into paying more for a home, when the consumer shouldn't.  On the Flip Side (this joke was just too obvious) There are also excellent high-quality flippers whom selectively choose which homes they flip, and then they invest carefully and beautifully while genuinely  improving a home! Some of these hi-quality upper tier flippe...
