From Keys to Cashflow: A Chicago Couple’s Nuevo Vallarta Penthouse Transformation

Some vacation homes are beautiful.
Some are profitable.
And the best ones do both—without turning the owner into a full-time project manager.

When Chicago-based professionals and first-time buyers Brian and Sara purchased a jaw-dropping oceanfront penthouse in Nuevo Vallarta Mexico, they had one clear goal: create a luxury retreat they could enjoy—and a high-performing rental that could cashflow when they weren’t in town.
