Do most people know they can use a self-directed IRA to invest in real estate? The short answer is no. If someone already has a self-directed IRA, they're usually aware that they can buy real estate because that's one of the main reasons they opened the account in the first place. But when you look at retirement accounts as a whole—traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs, and old 401(k)s—the vast majority of people have no idea this is even an option. In fact, it's estimated that only about 5% of retirement assets are invested in self-directed assets like real estate, private companies, or private lending. That means roughly 95% of retirement money is still invested in traditional assets like mutual funds, stocks, bonds, and ETFs. Why? Because most people have their retirement accounts with companies like Fidelity, Vanguard, or Schwab, where they're generally offered investments available on those platforms. Many people simply aren't told there are other options. The interesting part is that the IRS actually allows retirement accounts to invest in almost any asset, with a few important exceptions—such as life insurance and collectibles. Real estate, private lending, and private businesses can all be permissible investments when structured correctly through a self-directed account. For many investors, it's not about replacing the stock market—it's about knowing they have more choices than they ever realized. Have you ever heard of using a self-directed IRA to invest in real estate?

I did a video recently about construction in Cabo, and after posting it I was flooded with messages from people sharing their own horror stories. It made me realize this topic deserves a deeper conversation. From what I'm seeing, I honestly believe that at least 50% of the residential builds happening in Cabo and Baja California Sur are running into serious issues. Whether it's poor workmanship, massive budget overruns, delays, or being asked for more money than was originally agreed to, people are dealing with surprises they never expected. One of the biggest problems right now is what I call "construction fishing." A builder gives you a very attractive quote to win the project. Everyone says, "Don't worry, we'll use milestone payments." And yes, milestone payments are important—but they're not enough by themselves. What keeps happening is that the project moves along, the milestones get paid, and then somewhere around 70% to 80% completion, the budget is gone. Suddenly the owner is told they need hundreds of thousands of dollars more to finish the home. At that point, what are you going to do? Walk away from a house that's mostly built? Most people don't have a choice. Here's another example. I was talking to a builder who was working on a project in the East Cape. The plans specified copper electrical wiring, which is what should be installed. During construction they discovered a supplier trying to substitute aluminum wiring instead. They caught it before it was installed, but imagine if they hadn't. Those are the kinds of shortcuts that happen when there isn't enough oversight. And here's the reality: if a house looks sloppy on the outside, you should assume it's even worse behind the walls. You can repaint bad drywall or replace cheap tile, but you can't easily see poor electrical work, plumbing mistakes, structural shortcuts, or missing waterproofing until they become expensive problems years later. This is why choosing a builder isn't about finding the cheapest quote. It's about finding a team with the experience, supervision, and systems to protect your investment. Building in Baja can absolutely be an incredible experience—but only if it's done correctly from day one. The cheapest bid is often the most expensive decision you'll ever make.

"People go home and say they loved Mexico, but their only real interaction with locals was the bartender." Rodrigo Esponda, General Director of the Los Cabos Tourism Board, sat down with Fletcher Wheaton and said what most people in tourism won't say out loud. We turned the conversation into a full read on the blog. Worth it if you're planning a trip, thinking about buying, or just curious about the version of Los Cabos most visitors never find. 📍 Los Cabos, Baja California Sur

Only 5 beachfront properties are available under $5M in Palmilla, and 3 of them are condos. Chris and Tony were live on the MLS when they pulled that number. Palmilla holds its value because of what it is, one of the most established addresses in Los Cabos. When inventory at that price point drops to 5 listings on the beach side, that's not a coincidence. 📍 Palmilla, Los Cabos · CaboRealEstate.com . . . #LuxuryCondos #PalmillaRealEstate #LosCabosHomes #LosCabosLiving #LuxuryRealEstate

We're currently selling a commercial property in Cabo, and this transaction has been a good reminder of how important it is to clearly structure a due diligence period. As negotiations went back and forth, we were fairly flexible with the buyer regarding due diligence. Unfortunately, that flexibility created confusion. The buyer began requesting access to the property, scheduling inspections, and gathering information, but they would not acknowledge that the due diligence period had actually started. Last week, they scheduled an inspection for 9:00 a.m. On the morning of the inspection, at 8:30 a.m., we informed them they would not be granted access to the property unless they first signed the amendment confirming the due diligence commencement date. There was some frustration at first, but what had taken nearly two weeks of back-and-forth was resolved in about 30 minutes. The lesson wasn't about playing hardball. It was about aligning actions with the contract. Due diligence begins when the buyer starts receiving information, accessing the property, conducting inspections, and evaluating the opportunity. It shouldn't begin only after all of that work has already been completed. There were lessons for both sides. As the listing side, we can do a better job of defining exactly when due diligence starts and tying property access to that date. Buyers also benefit from having clear expectations from the beginning, which helps avoid unnecessary disputes later. Every transaction teaches you something. Real estate is full of unique situations, and no two deals are exactly alike. The key is to take those lessons and improve your process for the next one. If you're not learning something in your business on a regular basis, you're probably standing still. The best professionals aren't the ones who never encounter problems—they're the ones who use every challenge to refine how they work.
