Frequently Asked Questions

Rental management: 15–25% of gross rental income. Maintenance-only management: $3,000–$8,000 MXN/month. Full-service (rental + maintenance + billing + guest management): 20–30%. Our recommendation: full-service if you're abroad — saves time and prevents problems.

Guest communication and check-in/out, cleaning coordination, maintenance and repairs, Airbnb/VRBO listing management, pricing optimization, linen service, pool/garden maintenance, utility payments, HOA liaison, annual maintenance inspections.

Possible with smart home tech (smart locks, cameras, remote A/C control) but challenging. Common problems: emergency repairs, guest complaints, cleaning no-shows. 90% of our foreign clients use professional management. It costs 20–25% of revenue but prevents 100% of the headaches.

Check: years in business (3+ minimum), portfolio size (not overloaded — max 30 properties per manager), reference from other owners, transparent financial reporting, 24/7 emergency response, legal compliance (RNT registration), and clear contract terms including termination clause.

Materials Guide for Tropical Construction

Tropical-Approved
  • Structure: Reinforced concrete 4,000+ PSI, epoxy-coated rebar
  • Windows: Hurricane-rated aluminum with impact glass
  • Flooring: Porcelain tile, polished concrete, tropical hardwood
  • Exterior: Chukum plaster, natural stone, marine-grade coatings
  • Carpentry: Tzalam, chechen, parota (natural termite resistance)
Materials That Fail
  • Drywall: Mold within months in 80% humidity
  • Untreated wood: Termites destroy in 2–3 years
  • Standard steel: Salt corrodes in 3–5 years
  • Carpet: Permanent mold in tropical climate
  • Asphalt shingles: Can't withstand Category 5 hurricanes

5 Costly Mistakes to Avoid

  1. No fixed-price contract — Verbal agreements = 25–40% cost overruns. Demand itemized contracts.
  2. Ignoring hurricane codes — Retrofitting costs 3× more than building right. NOM-031 compliance is mandatory.
  3. Skipping environmental permits — SEMA clausura = forced demolition. We have 100% approval rate.
  4. Hiring 5 separate contractors — Coordination failures + blame game. Our in-house team covers everything.
  5. No waterproofing plan — 1,200+ mm rain/year + high water table = guaranteed leaks without proper membranes.
