# How do you actually plan to use your property?

Your answer changes the strategy, the unit type, and the long-term outcome.

## Same property. Very different outcomes.

Two buyers can purchase a similar unit and end up with completely different experiences, and results.

The difference isn’t the property.  
It’s how they plan to use it.

Before looking at prices or availability, it’s important to define whether your priority is financial performance, personal enjoyment, or a balance of both. This step helps clarify the right Riviera Maya investment strategy before moving forward.

### Why this matters before moving forward

###### Your use intention determines what “success” looks like for you. Defining this now helps ensure that the options you review next are aligned with how you’ll actually use the property, not just what looks appealing at first glance.
